Agathidium mexicanum Hendrichs, 1979: 106 is the single Mexican species of Leiodidae described by a Mexican entomologist: Chemical Engineer Jorge Hendrichs. As an amateur coleopterist he made a beetle collection of 18,400 specimens, adequately labeled by his wife and daughter. Most of the specimens are now in the entomological collection of the Instituto de Biología, UNAM. He published 12 papers, one of them devoted to the description of one leiodid species: Agathidium mexicanum Hendrichs, 1979. Type specimens of A. mexicanum were collected in Estado de Mexico and Distrito Federal (now Ciudad de México) localities (type locality: Cerro Tlaloc, Estado de México). The type series as described in the original description was constituted by 13 specimens: Holotype (male), allotype (female) and, 11 paratypes (6 males and 5 females). For specific details, data of the material examined is fully included (Hendrichs 1979: 110):

Brasilocaenis atawallpa was recently described based on male imago from Colombian Amazon. The original description does not contain a designation of type specimens or locality, and it just states that the type series was studied in order to perform the cladistic analysis. In this context, we herein designate the lectotype and paralectotypes of B. atawallpa and describe its nymphal stage. The nymphs were associated to B. atawallpa by the male genitalia extracted from mature nymphs. The nymphal stage of B. atawallpa can be differentiated from others known nymphs of the genus by absence of pointed microspines on opercular gill, fore coxa without projection, middle coxa with well-developed and semicircular projection, hind coxa with finger-like projection, fore and middle tarsal claws without denticles and hind margin of the ninth sternite almost straight.

Although Acrossocheilus kreyenbergii has been treated as a valid species since its original description, the type locality and identity of this species have hitherto remained uncertain. It is shown in this study that its precise location of ‘Tinghsiang’ or ‘Pinghsiang,’ the type locality of Gymnostoma kreyenbergii Regan, is the present Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province, in the Gan Jiang, a tributary flowing to the Boyang Lake system, or in the Yangtze River drainage. Observation of the type specimens of this species and further comparison with those of other barred congeners reveal that G. kreyenbergii is in fact a senior synonym of Barbus cinctus Lin.

An annotated checklist of fish genera and species described from Taiwanese waters through 2009 is presented. It includes 20 genera and 336 species/subspecies in 99 families. Of these, 225 species/subspecies are currently recognized as valid and 111 are invalid, including 7 questionable species. The current status of each taxon, if different from that of the original description, is provided. Thus far, 41 primary freshwater and estuarine species/subspecies are considered as endemic and 55 marine species are found only around Taiwan. The type series collected from Taiwan are also listed based on the information provided in the original descriptions and from our investigation. It includes approximately 2217 specimens in 779 lots, including 242 holotypes and lectotypes, 5 neotypes, 35 lots of syntypes and 497 lots of paratypes and paralectotypes. There are still 19 species lacking primary types and 11 lots with at least 31 unknown secondary type specimens.

We revise the type specimens of 132 nominal species of worldwide Triphoridae stored in the Natural History Museum of the United Kingdom (NHMUK), London. We provide the species name in its original combination, followed by bibliographic details of the original description, the location of the known type material, the original description (and its translation when in Latin), a diagnosis and curatorial or nomenclatural notes. We illustrated most specimens in the type series in colour and with SEM imaging and we have added the original figure whenever possible. The specimens of Triphorisalveolatus, T.granulatus, T.suturalis and T.verrucosus, all A. Adams & Reeve, 1850, T.pfeifferi Crosse & Fischer, 1865 and T.cucullatus de Folin, 1867, previously considered type material, are not considered here belonging to the type series. Adams & Reeve’s taxa should be considered nomina dubia. The name Triphorainsularum is a manuscript name by H.E.J. Biggs who deposited “types” in the NHMUK but refrained from introducing the name due to the lack of apex of the studied material. We selected lectotypes for six species (T.concors Hinds, 1843, T.maxillaris Hinds, 1843, T.fuscomaculata E.A. Smith, 1904, T.shepstonensis E.A. Smith, 1906, T.eupunctata G.B. Sowerby III, 1907, and T.rufula Watson, 1886) to stabilize the nomenclature. Finally, we illustrate original specimens (although not types) of three species described by Turton, whose type material is lost.

Examination of type specimens and topotypic material is often a necessary step to ascertain the validity of a species. Consequently, solid knowledge about type series, type locality and type depository is critical. In this paper, we provide a thorough review of the mosquito species originally described from specimens collected in French Guiana, with specific emphasis on the location of the current depositories of type material, the composition of type series and the delimitation of type localities. Information already published about the mosquito type material from French Guiana was gathered and efforts were made to ascertain the current location of their depositories. This investigation made it possible to locate a large part of the existing type material and to provide corrected information on type series and type localities, therefore providing a strong basis for future taxonomic research on mosquitoes. The type locality of Culex (Culex) pseudojanthinosoma Senevet & Abonnenc is corrected from French Guiana to Africa, and this species is synonymized with Culex (Culex) duttoni Theobald.

Some European species of the genus Lepidocyrtus were described almost a century ago and are only known from the type locality. This is the case of the Italian species L. pulchellus Denis, 1926, whose original description is very brief and does not allow its proper identification according to the current standards of the genus taxonomy. The study of the specimens of the type series, as well as other fresh specimens collected in several Italian locations, has allowed us to redescribe the species and expand its distributional range.

The genus Pseudopaludicola was erected by Miranda-Ribeiro (1926) to accomodate one species, P. falcipes (Hensel, 1867). Posteriorly, he added a second species to the genus, P. ternetzi, based on an undefined number of specimens, but surely involving males and females (Miranda-Ribeiro 1937). After a relatively detailed description and figures of a male and a female specimen, he particularly standed out one female specimen as coming from “Goyaz (Dr. Ternetz). Passa-Tres”. Paulo Miranda-Ribeiro (1955), in his survey on the types of the species described by his father, cited P. ternetzi, but he did not define a type specimen for the species. Notwithstanding, Frost (2011) referred to purportedly “Syntypes: MNRJ (2 specimens); MNRJ 488, considered holotype by Miranda-Ribeiro, 1955”, but this latter is actually the holotype of Barycholos ternetzi (Miranda-Ribeiro, 1937) (see Caramaschi & Pombal 2001). The type locality was cited by Frost (2011) only as “Goyaz [= Goiás]”, following P. Miranda-Ribeiro (1955), but adding that it was “restricted to ‘Passa Três, Goiás’ by Bokermann (1966). Actually, Bokermann (1966)”, besides incorrectly having synonymized the species with Pseudopaludicola ameghini (Cope, 1887) (see Lobo 1994), just referred, as type locality for the species, without comments, the only locality cited by Miranda-Ribeiro (1937) for one specimen examined by him. Given that for ongoing taxonomic revisions it is important to precisely identify all name-bearing type specimens in this genus, we examined the type series of P. ternetzi. Herein we designate a lectotype and list the paralectotypes for the species, thereby restricting and defining its type locality.

Taxonomic Review

It has been brought to our attention that we have erroneously referenced some numbers of the type series of Physalaemus feioi. Some type specimens were donated from the collection of the Museu de Zoologia João Moojen de Oliveira (MZUFV) to the collection of Museu Nacional (MNRJ). In the original publication we erroneously kept original MZUFV numbers while changing the collection acronym to MNRJ. The mistake could be noticed and corrected because MNRJ curators kept both numbers (MZUV and MNRJ) with every specimen. Thus, the composition of the type series remains the same, both amount and identity, and are corrected herein as follow. In the original description of P. feioi, pages 21 and 22, the lines designating holotype and paratypes should read (see the synopsis of the alterations in the Table 1):

Precise Locality

Since the time of the original description there have been no precise locality records in Cambodia of Bertia cambojiensis (Reeve, 1860) and it was believed to be extinct. In 2012, a joint Natural History Museum survey with Vietnamese colleagues rediscovered living populations of this huge sinistral helicoid snail in a protected area of southern Vietnam. The genitalia and radula morphology are re-assessed and type specimens of all recognised congeners are figured herein. The unique morphological characters of this species are a small and simple penis, well-developed amatorial organ complex that incorporates four amatorial organ ducts, a short gametolytic organ complex and spiked papilla, and radula morphology with unicuspid teeth. The type locality of B. cambojiensis, which has been contentious, is determined here to be in the vicinity of ‘Brelum’, Vietnam, near the border with Cambodia. In addition, the nucleotide sequences of barcoding genes COI, 16SrRNA and 28S fragments were provided for further comparison.
