Version 16.VIII.2011 Introduction The geographic distribution of taxa is given first as presence in one or more of the following zoogeographical regions: (AF) Afrotropical, (AU) Australian, (NA) Nearctic, (NT) Neotropical, (OR) Oriental, (PC) Pacific, and (PL) Palaearctic. The following rough delimitation of regions is used: Afrotropical/ Palearctic: south border of Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Egypt plus Red Sea. - Australian/ Pacific: Pacific Ocean islands between longitude 100º and 180ºW, and latitude 30ºS to 20ºN. - Nearctic/ Neotropical: border between Mexico and United States. - Nearctic/ Palearctic: between Baffin Island and Greenland. - Oriental/ Palearctic: border between main India and Pakistan, Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Nepal, Sikkim and Darjeeling, Bhutan, Arunachal Pradesh; border between China and Burma, Laos, and Vietnam. - Oriental/ Australian: Lydekker line. The delimitation of the Palearctic Region and the subdivision of Russia follow Löbl & Smetana (2003 & 2004). Type localities are located to a specific nation when possible. The following abbreviations are used: (NP) National Park, and (US) United States of America. The old name Zaire is retained for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the short-hand Congo is used for the Republic of the Congo. Citations of type localities use the following symbols: (>) to more restricted level, (<) to more general level, (,) within same level, (<<) to highest level, ((…)) original name, ([…]) comment, and (/) or. Citations always start at the highest geographic level. Specifications after names are given with lover-case letters, e.g. lake, mt. Multiple type localities have been cited when the type series consists of several specimens from two or more different localities. In the faunistic block doubtful records are noted by a ? before a geographic name. Erroneous records are marked with !. Type depository is given with the following letter codens that when possible follow Evenhuis & Samuelson (2006). Information given refers to current depository, which may differ from the one given in the original description. An ’?’ in this position means that the depository is unknown, and ’lost’ has been used when the collections are known to have been destroyed. Depository of syntypes may include several collections, one of which is given if reported as examined by some author, or if the entire collection of the author describing the actual species is being kept together in a single collection.
