[email protected] Abstract: the type specimens (all current categories) of Elateridae deposited in this Museum are catalogued: twenty-four names are recorded. the specific names are alphabetically entered a single list, followed by the ge- neric ones in their original spellings. An account of the types actually here deposited follows, with a description of all the labels. Later combinations, and synonyms are mentioned insofar they are known to the authors. In order to assist in future research, two further lists are added: 1. of specimens labeled as types of names not found in the bibliography, and probably not published, and 2. of specimens labeled as types but not originally included in a type series, published or not after the original description (mainly ‘allotypes’). Keywords: type specimens, Elateridae, coleoptera, Insecta. Resumen: Catálogo de los tipos de Elateridae (Insecta, Coleoptera) depositados en el Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, Buenos Aires. Se catalogan los ejemplares tipo de todas las categorías aceptadas de Elateridae depositados en este museo. Se registran veinticuatro nombres. Los nombres específicos se ordenan alfabéticamente; a estos siguen los genéricos, con la grafía original. Sigue la enumeración de los tipos efectivamente aquí presentes, con descripción de todos sus rótulos. Se mencionan las combinaciones ulteriores, y los sinónimos cuando son conocidos por los autores. Para facilitar futuras investigaciones, se agregan otras dos listas: 1. de ejemplares rotulados como tipos, de nombres no hallados en la bibliografía y probablemente no publi- cados, y 2. de los ejemplares rotulados como tipos, pero no incluidos originalmente en una serie típica, publicados o no después de la descripción original (principalmente ‘alotipos’). Palabras clave: Ejemplares tipo, Elateridae, coleoptera, Insecta. _____________ IntroductIon nomenclatural or taxionomical changes are add- ed, insofar they are known by the authors.
