Revision of WORLD CATALOGUE OF THE CURCULIONIDAE: LIXINAE: CLEONINI from Tue, 2017-07-04 09:34

Author: Massimo Meregalli.

The catalogue of species is accessible through the side-menu. Each genus includes all subgenera, species and synonyms. Links from species names to images are provided where possible. Relevant references are included on each page.

This catalogue is based on literature search and examination of specimens conserved in museums and private collections.

Names in bold: valid taxa.

Names in regular and indented: synonyms or invalid names.

The symbol “!” refers to type specimens personally examined.

TL: type locality, verbatim (between quotation marks) or generic when no exact reference was given in the original publication.

The countries are coded according to the ISO 3166 Alpha-2 code

The states of the US are coded according to the ISO 3166-2:US code

The provinces of China are coded according to the GB/T 2260 code

For each country up to 2-3 bibliographic references are given (numbers in apices). This means that in several cases more references are available for that country, but were not listed.

The asterisk * indicates the type country

The symbol & in apices is used when a country is only reported in the distribution of a synonym, usually as the type country of the synonym.

The symbol # indicates specimens personally examined from that country.

For allochtonous species the country is followed by (i) (imported).

Other symbols (§;+;@, …) refer to country indications of specimens conserved in museums, available in published lists or through the web, but not personally examined.

For each genus, the references corresponding to the numerical codes and the symbols are listed immediately after the species list.

ILLUSTRATIONS.

Whenever possible, illustrations of a type specimen are linked to the name. Unless differently indicated, all the photographs were made by Meregalli. They were made during several years, and usually not specifically thought for this project, therefore their quality is variable. When photographs or illustrations of type specimens are not available, a photograph of a non-type specimen is linked, if available. Occasionally, a photograph of a species is taken from the web, with full indication of the source. For synonyms, obviously only the photographs of a type, when available, is linked.

The codens of the museums where the type is conserved are those suggested by the Bishop Museum.
