Anthribidae

Orellana, Samanta & Girón Duque, Jennifer C., 2024, State of knowledge of the Anthribidae (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) in Colombia with a key to genera, Biota Colombiana 25, pp. 1-18 : 6

Key to the genera of Anthribidae of Colombia

The following key is based on previous keys for the region ( Orellana & Barrios, 2021; Mermudes, 2005, Mermudes & Napp,2006; Jordan, 1906), and includes groups observed (i.e., iNaturalist records) or potentially distributed in the country. Many of the genera recorded in Panama ( Orellana & Barrios, 2021) are most likely present in Colombia, and the key will become outdated as groups are added. Keys to species and descriptions can be found in Jordan (1894, 1895, 1897, 1906, 1937), Wolfrum (1959), Valentine (1980), Mermudes (2005), Mermudes & Napp (2006), and Mermudes & Rodrigues (2010). For more illustrations of the genera included in the key, see Orellana & Barrios (2021), and the interactive version of the checklist is available at https://ecdysis.org/checklists/checklist.php?clid=121 65 ( Orellana & Girón, 2022). Additional images can be found on the Arizona State University Collections (i.e., ASUCOB, ASUHIC) online profiles (https://serv.biokic.asu.edu/ecdysis/index.php), GBIF ( Arizona State University Biocollections 2022a, 2022b), and Anthribidae of the World Online (https://anthribidae.github.io/species) ( Orellana, 2023).
