DMITRY TELNOV Rgas rajons, Stopiu novads, Dzidrias, Drza iela 10, LV-2130 Latvia; e-mail: [email protected] TELNOV D., 2007. NOMENCLATURAL NOTES ON ANTHICIDAE AND PYROCHROIDAE (COLEOPTERA). 2. - Latvijas entomologs 44: 31-44. Abstract: Taxonomic studies of the beetles of the families Anthicidae by early authors were often not accurate. In the second work of the series, additional nomenclatural problems are solved, namely 26 new combinations, 23 new synonymies, two revised statuses, 3 new statuses for subspecific names, and 4 lectotype designations. Three unavailable names of Anthicidae are listed. New data on distribution of insufficiently known palaearctic species of Pedilus (Pyrochroidae: Pedilinae) are given. Key words: Coleoptera, Anthicidae, Pyrochroidae, Pedilus, nomenclature, new synonymy, new combinations, lectotype designation, faunal information. Introduction HNHM – Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest (Hungary); MNHN – Muséum National d’Histoire naturelle, Paris This is the second publication in the (France); current series that aims to find solutions to the NHMW – Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (Austria); numerous taxonomic problems within NMNZ – Museum of New Zealand, Wellington, (New Anthicidae (see also Telnov 2006).
