ABSTRACT. This catalogue contains information about the type material of the suborder Heteroptera housed at the Entomological Collection of the Instituto Fundación Miguel Lillo (IFML-Tucumán, Argentina). We listed 60 holotypes and 453 paratypes belonging to 20 families, and three species and one subspecies that were not found in the collection but, according the original description, should be deposited in IFML. Finally, we listed 15 species that are labeled and coded as types but that are no part of the original type series. Nevertheless, they were included in this contribution because the associated information could be useful for future taxonomic research.

RESUMEN. Este catálogo reúne los ejemplares tipo del suborden Heteroptera depositados en la Colección Entomológica del Instituto Fundación Miguel Lillo (IFML- Tucumán, Argentina). Se listan 60 holotipos y 453 paratipos pertenecientes a 20 familias, y se mencionan tres especies y una subespecie que no se encuentran en la Colección, pero que deberían estar depositadas en ella según la publicación original. Finalmente, se listan 15 especies rotuladas y codifcadas como tipos que no forman parte de la serie tipo original; se las incluye en este trabajo porque la información asociada podría ser útil para futuros estudios taxonómicos.

INTRODUCTION

With more than 40,000 described species, Heteroptera (Hemiptera), or true bugs, are part of the most successful radiation of nonholometabolous insects (Weirauch & Schuh, 2011). Heteropterans live on many different habitats: terrestrial, aquatic, intertidal and associated to other arthropods; and they include groups of phytophagous, predators and blood-sucking bugs.

Many species of heteropterans are known for their economical and/or medical concern, like species of the genus Triatoma Klug, vectors of the Chagas-Mazza disease (Schaefer & Panizzi, 2000).

The entomological collection of the Instituto Fundación Miguel Lillo (IFML - Tucumán, Argentina) is one of the most important in South America, including about 5 million specimens and type specimens of ca. 5,500 species (Aranda et al., 2016); for a brief historical Two previous works dealt with the type entomological collection at IFML, Hayward (1963) and Hayward (1967) that include true bugs families; both included a total of 67 species and subspecies of Heteroptera. In this contribution, we studied the type material of the suborder Heteroptera housed at the entomological collection of the IFML, increasing considerably the numbers given by Hayward and in many cases fxing misunderstandings and errors.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The original combination of the type names is presented. The code THEM[number], provided by the IFML collection, refers to each type specimen of Hemiptera. The species are arranged alphabetically by genus following the classifcation of the suborder of Schuh & Slater (1995) and in the case of Lygaeoidea of Henry (1997). When the original description of the species has more information about the collecting data that is missing in the labels, it is given between brackets.

In the cases where more type material is deposited

in other institutions or private collections, we mention them according to the data in the original description of the species. The acronyms used for the institutions are: Museo de La Plata, Argentina (MLP); Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales "Bernardino Rivadavia", Argentina (MACN); Instituto de Medicina Regional, Argentina (IMR); Instituto San Miguel, FCNGM, Argentina (ISM); Misión de Estudios Parasitológicos de la República Argentina, Argentina (MEPRA); Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México (UNAM); Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, Uruguay (MNHNM); Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, Santiago, Chile (MNNC); Universidade de São Paulo, Museu de Zoologia, Brazil (MZSP); Coleção Entomológica do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Brazil (CEIOC); Coleção de Triatomíneos do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Brazil (CTIOC); Museu Paraense "Emilio Goeldi", Brasil (MPEG); Museo Nacional Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (MNRJ); Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas de Amazônia, Manaus, Brazil (IMPA); Museuo del Instituto de Zoología Agrícola, Maracay, Venezuela (MIZA); Hungarian Natural History Museum, Hungary (HNHM); Museum National d'Histoire naturelle, France (MNHN); British Museum of Natural History, England (BMNH); Swedish Museum of Natural History, Sweden (SMNH); Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt-Universität, Germany (ZMHB); Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, Austria (NMW); Zoologisches Museum, Universiteit van Amsterdam, Netherlands (ZMUA); Rijksmuseum Van Naturlijke Histoire, Netherlands (RNHL); Museum of Natural History, Helsinki, Finland (MZH); Naturhistorisches Museum, Basel, Switzerland (NHMB); Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia (ZIN); National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, USA (USNM); American Museum of Natural History, USA (AMNH); California Academy of Sciences, USA (CAS); Cornell University, USA (CUIC); Department of Entomology, University of Kansas (UKANS); Carnegie Museum of Natural History, USA (CMNH); University of California, Essig Museum of Entomology, Berkeley, California, USA (EMEC); Florida State Collection of Arthropods, USA (FSCA); Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard, USA (MCZ); Texas A&M University, Texas, USA (TAMU); Snow Entomological Museum, University of Kansas, Lawrence, USA (SEMC); and 25 private collections. Many of these collections are known to have been purchased or donated, at least partially, to scientifc institutions as indicated in the table I.

As the result of our revision we listed 60 holotypes and 453 paratypes corresponding to 122 specifc and subspecifc Neotropical and Andean taxa belonging to 20 families that are deposited in the Heteroptera type collection of the IFML. These numbers make this collection one of the most important in Argentina, including a high representation of southern South American fauna of Heteroptera since most of the specimens are from Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.

In addition to the type specimens, we also mention three species and one subspecies that were not found in the collection but should be deposited in IFML according to data included in the original publication. Finally, we listed specimens of 15 species that are labeled as types but that are no part of the original type series and, therefore can not be recognized as such according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1999). However, these were included in the catalogue because the associated information could be useful for future taxonomic research and to avoid further mistakes due to the wrong labeling.
