A LIST OF TENEBRIONIDAE 



SUPPLEMENTARY TO THE « MUNICH » CATALOGUE 



by G. C CHiVBiPioiir. 



Since the publication of Vol. VII of Gemminger and Harold's 



Catalogue (1870) an immense number of new genera and species 

 of the Family Tenebrionidae have been described, and the fol- 

 lowing list includes the additions to it, with their synonymy. In 

 this supplement it is obviously impossible to give the corrections 

 in the synonymy of the older species : this can only be done 

 when a completely revised Catalogue is published. The arran- 

 gement adopted is that of Gemminger and Harold, with one or 

 two exceptions only, as Doliema, which is incorrectly placed 

 in Pythidse, etc.; many of the genera are quite out of place 

 in that Catalogue, as Talanus etc., nevertheless, for facility 

 of reference, I have considered it advisable to adhere to their 

 arrangement. The Cistelidae are not separated from the Tene- 

 brionidse by Gemminger and Harold : the Tenebrionidae occupy 

 pp. 1801-2041, ending with Talanus \ the Cistelidae extend from 

 p. 2041 to p. 2057. ^gialites (p. 2041) is now regarded as the 

 type of a separate family, the ^Egialitidae. As regards the Tene- 

 brionidae a great deal has been done of late years to refer many 

 species to their proper genera, but Nyctobates and some others 

 still contain a heterogeneous assemblage of species which do not 

 belong to them. There are a certain number of preoccupied generic 

 and specific names which require altering, but I do not propose 

 to substitute others myself.
