Descrição
Resumo: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.
