Checklist for the Darkling Beetles of Borneo (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae s.str.)

Abstract

Abstract A checklist for the Tenebrionidae (sensu stricto) (Coleoptera) of Borneo with corresponding references is compiled, based on the literature and unpublished records from different collections. Tenebrionidae are considered herein in a historical (typological) sense, excluding the subfamily Alleculinae and those tribes of Lagriinae previously classified in the family Lagriidae. Although the present list contains a total of 999 species from Borneo, it is far from completeness. Distributional patterns within Borneo itself are widely unknown.
