This detailed catalog updates the type specimens of coleoptera in Mexico, providing insights into families and species.
We update the information of the collection of type specimens of Coleoptera deposited in the National Collection of Insects at the Instituto de Biología, UNAM. In addition, we provided photos of the dorsal aspect of all type species. The list incorporates 847 specimens belonging to 25 families, 73 genera, and 216 species. A total of 177 holotypes, nine allotypes, and 661 paratypes are registered. The following information is given in the list: family, species name in the original combination, subspecies name (when applicable), authority, year of publication, type category, number of specimens, sex (male, female, unknown), and all the data from labels, in addition to the preservation status of each specimen.
