Abstract
We provide a catalogue of the world species of Zerconidae, which includes 489 valid recent species (including synonyms) with corresponding taxonomic information and references. An illustrated key (based on adult females) to the 45 genera included in the catalogue along with revised generic diagnoses are provided. The following new synonymy is proposed: Betaechinozercon Sikora, 2014 is a junior synonym of Prozercon (Plumatozercon) Urhan & Ayyıldız, 1996. We propose Prozercon americanus (Błaszak, 1982) comb. nov., Zercon maxsellnicki Jandík & Fenďa nom. nov., replacement name for Zercon similis Sellnick, 1958, junior homonym of Zercon similis Mihelčič, 1958. Some species are insufficiently known and could not be reliably identified; these are listed as species incertae sedis.
期刊介绍：
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
