Type specimens of beetles (Insecta: Coleóptera) at the museo entomológico Francisco Luís Gallego, Medellín, Colombia

摘要

Type specimens are the most scientifically valuable specimens of the natural history collections, and are very important to because they represent standards of reference that provide objectivity in scientific nomenclature (IZCN, 1999). In consideration of the recommendation 72E4 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, which indicates that the type lists should be published, we provide a list of the species of Coleóptera with types housed in the Museo Entomológico Francisco Luis Gallego (MEFLG).
