A Check List of Australian Elateridae (Coleoptera)

By Arturs Neboiss, M.Sc., F.R.E.S., Assistant Curator of Insects,
National Museum of Victoria.

(Received for publication, May 1, 1956.)

INTRODUCTION

This check list has been prepared for publication before the mono-
graphic revision of the whole family is undertaken, and shows the work
done before the beginning of 1956.

Australian species of Elateridae were included in Schenkling’s
Coleopterorum Catalogus (1925-1927) which is also the latest catalogue.
During the last 30 years a number of species has been described from
Australia, and a number of alterations made to their systematic positions.
This check list includes all available information regarding all Australian
genera and species. The general classification is that used by Schwarz
in Genera Insectorum (1906-7) and Schenkling in Coleopterorum
Catalogus (1925-27) with respective changes as they appeared in the
later literature.

Each generic name is accompanied by the reference to the original
description and the name of genotype.

Specific names under one genus are placed in alphabetical order, and
contain three separate parts of information:

(a) Distribution—as it is listed in the literature.
(b) References to the literature, including synonymy, biology, ete.
(c) Location of the type specimen or specimens where known.

The following abbreviations are used for the distribution:
N.T.—Northern Territory.
N-th Austr.—Northern Australia.
N-th Qld.—Northern Queensland.
Qld.—Queensland.
N.W. Austr.—North-western Australia.
Centr. Austr.—Central Australia.
N.S.W.—New South Wales.
Vic.—Victoria.
S.A.—South Australia.
Tas.—Tasmania.
W.A.—Western Australia.

S.A. Mus.—South Australian Museum, Adelaide, S.A.
Coll. F.E.W.—Mr. E. E. Wilson, private collection, Melbourne, Vic.

?—Location of type specimen unknown to author.

Names of species appear under each generic name where it has beer
described or transferred to; but full details and svnonymy are given under
the latest systematical position thus giving an easy reference for everv
possible published combination of genus and species. This method has been
adopted to make the finding of the latest systematic placing of species
possible in cases where only an old reference or identification is known.

No reference has been made to the published catalogues under the
specific names, except in cases where the said catalogue is proposing or
for the first time recording important systematic changes.

This check list contains 577 species, one subspecies, and one variety,
all of which are placed in 62 genera under 17 different subfamilies.

Any criticism and additional information, especially that regarding
the location of types, would be greatly appreciated by the author.

NEW NAMES PROPOSED IN THIS CHECK LIST:
Lacon elstoni nom. nov. for Lacon conspiciendus Elston 1927 not 1924.

Conoderus ignobilis nom. nov. for Conoderus ruficollis Schwarz not
Blackburn.

CTENICERINAE nom. nov. for subfamily CORYMBITINAE
Schenkling.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Museums overseas and in Australia were most co-operative and
helped considerably in preparing this list, giving details of the type
specimens in their collections and other information required. I am
indebted to Miss Christine von Hayek, of the British Museum (Natural
History), London, for most encouraging help and information. Also to
Prof. Dr. H. Sachtleben, of Deutsches Entomologisches Institut, Berlin;
Dr. R. Malaise, of Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum, Stockholm; Dr. J. M.
Vrydagh, of Institut Royal Sciences Naturelles de Belgique, Brussels;
Dr. E. T. Giles, of South Australian Museum, Adelaide; Dr. J. W. Evans
and Mr. A. Musgrave, of Australian Museum, Sydney; Mr. J. R. Henry, of
Macleay Museum, Sydney; Mr. F. E. Wilson for detailed information, and
to Miss Joyce M. Shaw, librarian, National Museum of Victoria, for help
in obtaining the numerous volumes of books required for this work.

alternans Macl. and L. maculosus Macl, are entered as synonyms for L. van-de-polli Cand. ‘There is no
reason for this entry, and further analysis of the synonymy shows that the name L, variabilis Cand. has
priority, If the synonymy of L. macuosus is correct, Schw arz's name L. variegatus automatically
a synonym of L. variabilis, and the same happens to the Schenkling's new name L. variatus.

* There are two descriptions published for the name aurulentus as shown above, in the years 1878 and
1882 respectively. It is impossible to separate the species from the descriptions. and there is onlv one
aurulentus type known, although from the descriptions it is clear that there have been two different
specimens used, because of the given size (one is 2 mm. shorter than the other). Based on this
explanation M. aurulentus Candeze 1882 is kept temporarily under the name of M. aurulentus Candeze 1878.

Comparison of the types of both species has been made possible through the courtesy and co-
operation of Miss C. von Hayek and Dr, R. Malaise, to whom I express my sincere thanks. Examination
was made by Miss von Hayek who came to conclusion that both specimens are male and female of the
same species. Based on this statement the above synonomy is established,

* Schenkling 1925 in Col. Cat. 11 (80): 110 enters Schwarz’s Monocrepidius ruficollis as being the
same as Blackburn's, but there are no published statements known to me why these two species should be
regarded as synonymous. There are differences in the colour, the shape of prothorax and carinae of the
posterior angles of the prothorax. Therefore a new name is proposed here to the Schwarz's species.

subgenus Pseudaeolus. Carter (1939) followed Candeze's suggestion, but uses Pseudaeolus as a generic
name. In this check list all species are included in the genus Aeolus, until a monographie revision of this
group is undertaken to settle their correct position,
