Type specimens of Chrysidoidea (Hymenoptera) deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil

“…Catalogues of ants (Brandão, 1991;Klingenberg & Brandão, 2005;Brandão et al, 2010;Esteves et al, 2011;Prado & Brandão, 2013;Ulysséa & Brandão, 2013;Ulysséa et al, 2015), bees (Ramos et al, 2015) and "Symphyta" & "Parasitica" wasps (Onody et al, 2014) were issued in order to accomplish this recommendation. We present here the first compiled list of Chrysidoidea wasps type specimens deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo.…”

Crabronidae and Sphecidae (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) type specimens deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil

“…In this context, and taking into account the recommendation 72F of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, fourth edition, January 1999) about the role of collections in making the types available to researches, catalogues have been published aiming to list all Hymenoptera types specimens deposited in the MZUSP collection. These catalogues cover, until this moment: ants (Brandão, 1991;Klingenberg & Brandão, 2005;Brandão et al, 2010;Esteves et al, 2011;Prado & Brandão, 2013;Ulysséa & Brandão, 2013;Ulysséa et al, 2015), bees (Ramos et al, 2015), "Symphyta" & "Parasitica" wasps (Onody et al, 2014), Chrysidoidea (Santos et al, 2017) and Pompiloidea, Thynnoidea and Vespoidea wasps (Andrade et al, 2018). The most recent ones include also images of the primary types to avoid long distance loans and unnecessary movement of these specimens.…”

Catalogue of the Dolichoderinae, Formicinae and Martialinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) types deposited at the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil

“…The present catalogue is the eighth in a series of papers that attempted to disclose all type specimens deposited at the MZSP ant collection. For the past eleven years, several students, technicians and scientists have contributed to the publication of seven catalogues, which include the fungus-growing ants (Myrmicinae: former Attini) (Klingenberg & Brandão, 2005); poneromorphs (Amblyoponinae, Ectatomminae, Heteroponerinae, Ponerinae and Proceratiinae) (Scott-Santos et al, 2008); Pseudomyrmecinae (Brandão et al, 2010); dorylomorphs (Aenictinae, Ecitoninae, Cerapachyinae and Leptanilloidinae) (Esteves et al, 2011); Dacetini and Solenopsidini (Ulysséa & Brandão, 2013); Cephalotini (Prado & Brandão, 2013); and of 12 traditional Myrmicinae tribes (Adelomyrmecini, Basicerotini, Blepharidattini, Crematogastrini, Formicoxenini, Lenomyrmecini, Myrmicini, Phalacromyrmecini, Pheidolini, Stegomyrmecini, Stenammini and Tetramoriini) (Ulysséa et al, 2015). Altogether, we gathered information on 892 name-bearing types and 4,741 specimens (Table 1).…”
