“…With 695 luminescent genera of marine animals, our catalogue is ~40% larger than Herring's authoritative listing from 1987 [15]. Combined with luminescent records from non-marine Annelida (~35 species from 16 genera [56,64,65]), Mollusca (six species from three genera [66]) and Arthropoda (3000 species from ~240 genera [15,[67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77]), Fungi (~100 species from 14 genera [78][79][80]), Protists (~100 species from 27 luminescent genera [41,81]) and bacteria (forty-four species from six genera [82][83][84][85]), our listing amounts to over 6000 luminescent species from about 1000 genera, which represents at least a 20% increase compared to previous estimates [3,17]. Two driving forces have fueled this augmentation: an 'organic' growth linked to taxonomic changes triggered by the rise of molecular phylogenies (e.g., elevation of subgenera to genera level, splitting of genera to avoid paraphyly, and so on), and a 'methodological' growth linked to the discovery of new luminescent species (or to the discovery of the luminescence competence of species discovered before).…”

Bioluminescence is the production of visible light by an organism. This phenomenon is particularly widespread in marine animals, especially in the deep sea. While the luminescent status of numerous marine animals has been recently clarified thanks to advancements in deep-sea exploration technologies and phylogenetics, that of others has become more obscure due to dramatic changes in systematics (themselves triggered by molecular phylogenies). Here, we combined a comprehensive literature review with unpublished data to establish a catalogue of marine luminescent animals. Inventoried animals were identified to species level in over 97% of the cases and were associated with a score reflecting the robustness of their luminescence record. While luminescence capability has been established in 695 genera of marine animals, luminescence reports from 99 additional genera need further confirmation. Altogether, these luminescent and potentially luminescent genera encompass 9405 species, of which 2781 are luminescent, 136 are potentially luminescent (e.g., suggested luminescence in those species needs further confirmation), 99 are non-luminescent, and 6389 have an unknown luminescent status. Comparative analyses reveal new insights into the occurrence of luminescence among marine animal groups and highlight promising research areas. This work will provide a solid foundation for future studies related to the field of marine bioluminescence.

“…Durante los últimos 50 años, los trabajos realizados en México se han restringido a algunas zonas, y principalmente se ha enfocado a la revisión de material depositado en pocas colecciones entomológicas. Con respecto a los estudios faunísticos para Elateridae en América, los trabajos se han restringido a ciertas zonas de estudio asociadas con los sitios visitados por los especialistas (Aguirre, 2009;Aguirre, Carrejo y Pardo-Locarno, 2010;Arias, 2000Arias, , 2013Arias y Elgueta, 2012;Becker, 1966Becker, , 1979Casari, 2002a,b;Champion., 1894Champion., -1896Correa, Casari y Mermudes, 2011;Costa, Vanin y Casari, 1988;Lawrence y Arias, 2009;Silva, De Faria e Silva, Boieiro, Aguiar y Serrano, 2006;Rosa y Costa, 2009;Stibick, 1979). Estos estudios generalmente se han basado en caracteres de morfología externa en adultos, aunque algunos trabajos han empleado caracteres de morfología interna, incluyendo caracteres de edeagos y placas genitales de hembras, así como caracteres larvales (p.…”

The Museum of Zoology of the University of São Paulo (MZSP) houses one of the most important Coleoptera collections of Brazil and Neotropical Region with nearly 900,000 adult mounted material and about 1,500,000 specimens to be mounted. The superfamily Elateroidea Leach, 1815 (including Cantharoidea) comprises about 24,077 described species in 17 families. The MZSP owns type material of Brachypsectridae LeConte & Horn, 1883, Cantharidae, 1856 (1815), Cerophytidae Latreille, 1834, Elateridae Leach 1815, Eucnemidae Eschscholtz, 1829, Lampyridae Rafinesque, 1815, Lycidae Laporte, 1836, Phengodidae LeConte, 1861 and Rhinorhipidae Lawrence, 1988. This catalogue includes type material of 166 species distributed in 69 genera. Among 1,223 type specimens, are 86 holotypes, 1,133 paratypes, 2 allotypes, 1 lectotype and 1 paralectotype.
