S’estudien els exemplars del gènere Caenocara Thomson, 1859, recol·lectats a la península Ibèrica en diversos projectes, i els dipositats en la col·lecció del Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona. ...Es descriuen els llocs d’estudi, es comenta la biologia del gènere i es dóna l’àrea de distribució de les espècies tractades, així com una breu sinopsi d’aquestes. S’adjunta la relació i el plànol de situació de les localitats, totes dins del territori català
Stromatanobium delgadoi n. gen. n. sp. est décrit. Cette espèce se développe dans les stromas produits par un Champignon Ascomycète sur Plukenetia volubilis L. (Euphorbiaceae), cultivé au Pérou pour ...ses graines oléagineuses. La morphologie des pro-, méso- et métasternum place le nouveau genre dans la sous-famille des Ptinidae Mesocoelopodinae. Le genre et l'espèce sont bien caractérisés par la structure des antennes des deux sexes, de l'édéage et par d'autres caractères dans la morphologie externe. Stromatanobium n. gen. semble être proche de Tricorynus Waterhouse 1849, mais il s'en distingue par les caractères mentionnés ci-dessus.
The type collection of the subfamilies Alleculinae, Diaperinae and Lagriinae (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) deposited in the Natural Sciences Museum of Barcelona, Spain, was organised, revised and ...documented. The collection contains 201 type specimens of 35 taxa. Of note is the number of samples froma subfamily described by Francesc Español, Maurice Antoine, and Zoltán Kaszab. In this paper, we report the information available for these type specimens and all taxa (species or subspecies). We give the following information: original and current taxonomic status, original citation of type material, the exact transcription of the original label, and the preservation condition of the specimen. We also discuss the differences between the original descriptions and labels. If a taxonomic change has occurred, the references describing those changes are included at the end of the description.
The collection of type specimens belonging to the superfamilies Scarabaeoidea, Buprestoidea, Byrrhoidea, Elateroidea, Cleroidea, Cucujoidea, Tenebrionoidea (except Tenebrionidae family), ...Chrysomeloidea and Curculionoidea (Coleoptera) hosted in the Natural Sciences Museum of Barcelona, Spain The type collection of the superfamilies Scarabaeoidea, Buprestoidea, Byrrhoidea, Elateroidea, Cleroidea, Cucujoidea, Tenebrionoidea (except Tenebrionidae family), Chrysomeloidea and Curculionoidea (Coleoptera) deposited in the Natural Sciences Museum of Barcelona, Spain, has been organised, revised and documented. It contains 533 type specimens belonging to 170 different taxa. Of note is the considerable number of species of different families described by Francesc Español, and specimens from the Curculionidae family described by Manuel González. In this paper we provide all the available information related to these type specimens, giving the following information for each taxon, species and subspecies: the original and current taxonomic status, original citation of type materials, exact transcription of original labels, and preservation condition of specimens. Moreover, the differences between original descriptions and labels are discussed. When a taxonomic change has occurred, the references that examine these changes are included at the end of the taxa description.
Se cita per primera vegada de la península Ibèrica Dorcatoma (Dorcatoma) punctulata Mulsant & Rey, 1864, recol·lectada a la província de Tarragona. Es confirma la presència de D. (Pilosodorcatoma) ...substriata Hummel, 1829, a l’àrea peninsular (Navarra), coneguda fins a l’actualitat d’Espanya només de la vall d’Aran i s’amplia la distribució de D. (P.) agenjoi Español, 1978, a Catalunya i de D. (P.) minor Zahradník, 1993, a Navarra. Es representa l’hàbitat de D. (D.) punctulata, així com les antenes, els palps maxil·lars i l’edeagus. També es modifica la clau de les espècies ibèriques del subgènere Dorcatoma sensu stricto Herbst, 1792.
