bered consecutively.

Major headings of the paper are centred capitals; first subheadings are shouldered small capitals;
second subheadings are shouldered italics; third subheadings are indented, shouldered italics. Further
subdivisions should be avoided, as also enumeration (never roman numerals) of headings and
abbreviations.

Footnotes should be avoided unless they are short and essential.

INTRODUCTION

The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1985) recommended
that institutions publish lists of name-bearing types in their possession. The
South African Museum has over 6000 primary types of insects in its holdings,
approximately 50 per cent of which are beetles. The present paper lists the type
material of the family Carabidae, including Cicindelinae, and is the first of a
series aimed at listing the holdings of Coleoptera types. The list includes
708 type series, 571 (80%) of which were described by L. A. Péringuey, who
worked at the South African Museum from 1884 to 1924.

Names listed are those in the original description. Other names are included
under comments.

In our collections, a number is allocated to a series—that is, all specimens of
a species collected at exactly the same locality, on the same date, by the same
collector. A suffix, a—z, is then allocated to individual specimens. Before the re-
organization programme of the collections commenced (1993), the prefix SAM-
ENT was used. A different system was introduced with re-organization whereby
the prefix for the beetles is SAM-COL-A. Catalogue numbers with the prefix
SAM-ENT or SAM-COL-A have been attached to all type specimens. For the
purposes of computerization, each number comprises six digits, e.g. SAM-
ENT000364. However, the initial zeros used to make up the six digits have
been omitted to keep this list as short as possible.

Collection details, as specified on the label, have been placed in quotes. If
there are no details at all on the specimen, this fact is indicated under comments
that are placed in square brackets.

The type status is stated in lowercase if taken directly from the label on the
specimen and in uppercase if it was interpreted. The name of the collector is
given within brackets in italics.

Peringuey’ S type material poses some problems. Many of his epecmmens are
labelled ‘type’ or ‘typ’. Where only one such specimen is labelled and where the
description suggests only one specimen (i.e. definite dimensions are cited and
not a range), it is considered to be the holotype. However, where a specimen is

249

250 ANNALS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM

assumed to be a holotype but other material may exist—unbeknown to us—in
other collections, this may alter the status of the specimen in question. Where
more than one specimen is labelled ‘type’ and where the description suggests
more than one specimen, or where there is only one specimen labelled but the
description suggests more than one, they are considered to be the syntypes.
However, this is occasionally contradicted, as Péringuey sometimes suggested
only one specimen, by citing a fixed dimension, in the description but then
labelled more than one specimen ‘type’. Discrepancies such as this are men-
tioned in square brackets.

There are many inconsistencies with the re-designation of Péringuey types.
In some cases, where the status of lectotype and paralectotype should have been
applied, the terms holotype and paratype were applied. In these instances, the
status has been corrected and printed in uppercase and further comments
included to help establish the true status. It has been assumed that the re-
designations have been published.

In some cases, Péringuey designated only one of a series as ‘type’ and
specialists examining the material later have designated the type specimen as
holotype and other specimens in the series as paratypes. Where undesignated
material of the type series in the collection exists, the details have been included
under comments. Furthermore, where no designated material exists but there is
material that could be type material, it has also been included.

In the collection there are specimens of which the status is uncertain, which
Péringuey had labelled either ‘type’ or ‘in litt’: these specimens include the
species Abacetus capensis, Apotomus australis, Brachinus nodieri, Chlaenius
jansei, Metaxymorphus umbraculatus, Systolocranius similans, Teratotarsa bar-
nardi and Asemobius distinctus. (Asemobius is a genus of the family Staphylin-
idae but the ‘type’ in question is a carabid and resembles Metaxymorphus
robustus Péringuey.) These probably have no type status but are mentioned as
they might be of some significance.

Some of the specimens bear green holotype and orange paratype labels that
were apparently placed on the specimens by Dr A. J. Hesse (S. A. Museum,
1923-1974). These specimens are from Dr Péringuey’s private collection and
were removed by Dr Hesse, as they were considered to be the property of the
South African Museum. These designations by Dr Hesse have never been
published and are not considered valid, but are mentioned as they may be of
some historical significance. It is possible that some type material from
Péringuey’s private collection still exists in other institutions.

6. SYSTEMATIC papers must conform to the /nternational code of zoological nomenclature (particu-
larly Articles 22 and 51).

Names of new taxa, combinations, synonyms, etc., when used for the first time, must be followed
by the appropriate Latin (not English) abbreviation, e.g. gen. nov., sp. nov., comb. nov., syn. nov.,
etc.

An author’s name when cited must follow the name of the taxon without intervening punctuation
and not be abbreviated; if the year is added, a comma must separate author’s name and year. The
author’s name (and date, if cited) must be placed in parentheses if a species or subspecies is trans-
ferred from its original genus. The name of a subsequent user of a scientific name must be separated
from the scientific name by a colon.

Synonymy arrangement should be according to chronology of names, i.e. all published scientific
names by which the species previously has been designated are listed in chronological order, with all
references to that name following in chronological order, e.g.:

Family Nuculanidae
Nuculana (Lembulus) bicuspidata (Gould, 1845)

Figs 14-15A
Nucula (Leda) bicuspidata Gould, 1845: 37.
Leda plicifera A. Adams, 1856: 50.
Laeda bicuspidata Hanley, 1859: 118, pl. 228 (fig. 73). Sowerby, 1871: pl. 2 (fig. 8a—b).
Nucula largillierti Philippi, 1861: 87.
Leda bicuspidata: Nicklés, 1950: 163, fig. 301; 1955: 110. Barnard, 1964: 234, figs 8-9.

Note punctuation in the above example:
comma separates author’s name and year
semicolon separates more than one reference by the same author
full stop separates references by different authors
figures of plates are enclosed in parentheses to distinguish them from text-figures
dash, not comma, separates consecutive numbers.

Synonymy arrangement according to chronology of bibliographic references, whereby the year is
placed in front of each entry, and the synonym repeated in full for each entry, is not acceptable.

In describing new species, one specimen must be designated as the holotype; other specimens
mentioned in the original description are to be designated paratypes; additional material not regarded
as paratypes should be listed separately. The complete data (registration number, depository, descrip-
tion of specimen, locality, collector, date) of the holotype and paratypes must be recorded, e.g.:

Holotype
SAM-—A13535 in the South African Museum, Cape Town. Adult female from mid-tide region, King’s Beach, Port Eliza-
beth (33°51’S 25°39’E), collected by A. Smith, 15 January 1973.

Note standard form of writing South African Museum registration numbers and date.

7. SPECIAL HOUSE RULES

Capital initial letters

(a) The Figures, Maps and Tables of the paper when referred to in the text
e.g. °. . . the Figure depicting C. namacolus ...’: *. . . in C. namacolus (Fig. 10)...’

(b) The prefixes of prefixed surnames in all languages, when used in the text, if not preceded by
initials or full names
e.g. DuToit but A.L.du Toit; Von Huene but F. von Huene

(c) Scientific names, but not their vernacular derivatives

e.g. Therocephalia, but therocephalian

Punctuation should be loose, omitting all not strictly necessary

Reference to the author should preferably be expressed in the third person

Roman numerals should be converted to arabic, except when forming part of the title of a book or
article, such as
‘Revision of the Crustacea. Part VIII. The Amphipoda.’

Specific name must not stand alone, but be preceded by the generic name or its abbreviation to initial
capital letter, provided the same generic name is used consecutively. The generic name should
not be abbreviated at the beginning of a sentence or paragraph.

Name of new genus or species is not to be included in the title; it should be included in the abstract,
counter to Recommendation 23 of the Code, to meet the requirements of Biological Abstracts.
