Nota
The collection of the Ptinidae family (Coleoptera)
deposited in the Natural History Museum of Barcelona, Spain has been organised, revised
and documented. This collection belonged to Francesc Español Coll, a world specialist in
this family, and it has become an important reference point for research on that family. The
collection is composed of a total of 8,854 specimens, 498 of which are type species. In this
paper we provide all the available information related to these type specimens, so for any
single taxon, species or subspecies, the following information is given: the original and current
taxonomic status, original citation of type materials, exact transcription of original labels, and
preservation condition of specimens. Moreover, the differences between original descriptions
and labels are discussed. When a taxonomic change has occurred, the references that examine
those changes are included at the end of the taxa description.
