LIS Department of Zoology, University of Opole, Oleska 22, 45-052 Opole, Poland e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The catalogue of all known Old World species of the family Cydnidae is presented; it includes 73 genera, 526 species and 4 subspecies. Following new synonymies are proposed: Cephalocteinae MULSANT et REY, 1866 (=Scaptocorinae FROESCHNER, 1960), Cephalocteus DUFOUR, 1834 (=Amblyottus AMYOT et SERVILLE, 1843), Byrsinocoris MONTANDON, 1900 (=Dallonia BERGEVIN, 1936), Cephalocteus scarabaeoides (FABRICIUS, 1803) (=Amblyottus dufouri AMYOT et SERVILLE, 1843), Byrsinocoris nigroscutellatus MONTANDON, 1900 (=Dallonia pangaeoides BERGEVIN, 1936), Byrsinus varians (FABRICIUS, 1803) (=Aethus riedeli JOSIFOV et KERZHNER, 1978), Geotomus punctulatus (COSTA, 1847) (=Aethus platysomoides WALKER, 1867); Canthophorus dubius var. brevipennis SIGNORET, 1884 is treated as a probable synonym of Canthophorus impressus HORVÁTH, 1881. The following new combinations are proposed: Aethus obscurus (WESTWOOD, 1837), Aethus hirsutus (HESSE, 1925), Byrsinus fuscipes (MULSANT et REY, 1866), Byrsinus pauculus (SIGNORET, 1882), Fromundus barbarae (LIS, 1991), Fromundus scutellopunctatus (SIGNORET, 1883), Microporus bimaculatus (HESSE, 1935), Microporus cruralis (STÅL, 1856), Microporus lepidus (STÅL, 1854), Microporus striipennis (LINNAVUORI, 1986), Microscytus babaeculus (LINNAVUORI, 1977), Raunoloma longiceps (LINNAVUORI, 1977), Lalervis alticola (LINNAVUORI, 1993), Lalervis tibialis (STÅL, 1854), Legnotus quadrilineus (WALKER, 1867). Parachilocoris minutus japonicus LIS, 1994 is raised to species rank (P. japo- nicus LIS, 1994). Raunoloma is proposed as a new name for the preoccupied Aloma LINNAVUORI, 1993. Lectotypes are designated for Cydnus australis ERICHSON, Cydnus flavicornis var. subinermis REY, Aethus nigropiceus SCOTT, Aethus nitens KIRBY, Choerocydnus coleopteroides BERGROTH, Hemixesta cribripennis BERGROTH, Macroscytus annulipes HORVÁTH, and Sehirus rotundipennis DOHRN. Key words: Entomology, taxonomy, catalogue, Old World, Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Cydnidae. 166 JERZY A. LIS CONTENTS I.

INTRODUCTION The Cydnidae are one of the most speciose families (after Pentatomidae) within the superfamily Pentatomoidea. Its representatives are usually known under the common name of burrower bugs (or burrowing bugs) due to their specific way of life (many of them live in a soil and feed on roots). This catalogue attempts to assemble the taxonomic literature dealing with the Old World Cydnidae from 1758 to 1997, inclusively. All the names, years of publications, page numbers, distribution data and data on type materials have been checked with the original literature. Scientific names have been cited exactly as they appeared in the original publication, including typographical errors, misspelling and the use of foreign letters (except for the capitalization of the first letter in specific names, and hyphenated or separate original spelling). The type species with the means of designation are given for each genus. Where explanatory or additional information is appropriate it is placed after the taxonomic entry as a Note. The status of the type material is indicated in the section Type data. The following categories of types are included: holotype (either by monotypy, when there is clear from the original description or other sources that the species was based on a single specimen, or for one specimen originally designated as such), lectotype (previous or present designation), syntypes (for more than one speci- men), syntype(s) (if there are no indications of the number of specimens). Sex of the type material was given if it was available from the original description or other sources. The known distribution of each species is also provided, using current political units. The name of the former Yugoslavia is used only in the case when it was not possible to ascertain the exact locality from the original paper. Each doubtful country record is accompanied by a question mark; new records are marked with asterisks. The arrangement of subfamilies and tribes follows FROESCHNER (1960a) and LIS (1994a).
