ILLUSTRATED CATALOG OF THE SUBTRIBE HELOPININA LACORDAIRE (COLEOPTERA: TENEBRIONIDAE: BLAPTINAE: PEDININI)

A catalog of all valid genus-group (13 genera. 10 subgenera) and species-group names (239 species and subspecies) of Helopinina darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Blaptinac: Pedinini) and their available synonyms is presented. For each name, the author, year. and page number of the description are provided, with additional data depending on the taxon rank (e.g., type species for genus-group names. author of synonymies for invalid taxa, notes). Verified distributional records (loci typici and data acquired from revisionary publications) for all the species were gathered and illustrated. The following new combinations are proposed: Amatodes angulicollis(Gebien),Amatodes canaliculata (Fabricius), A matodes cordofana (Haag-Rutenberg), Amatodes delahayei (Robiche), Amatodes delicatula (Fairmaire), Amatodes demeyeri (Robiche), Amatodes drumonti (Robiche), Amatodes fasciolata (Gebien), Amatodes gebieni (Robiche), Amatodes girardi (Robiche. Le Gall. and Goergen), Amatodes granata (Gebien). Amatodes haroldi (liaagRutenberg), Amatodes hirsuta (Solier), Amatodes hirsutula (Solier), Amatodes jocquei (Robiche), Amatodes kochi (Robiche), Amatodes legal!! (Robiche), Amatodes mucorea (Fairmaire). Amatodes muellerae (Robiche), Amatodes planicollis (Haag-Rutenberg), Amatodes planipennis (Gebien), Amatodes congoensis (Robiche), Amatodes limbourgi (Robiche), Amatodes setulosa (Quedenfeldt), Amatodes spinosa (Robiche), Amatodes claudegirardi (Robiche), Amatodes ertli (Gebien), Amatodes ferreri (Robiche), Amatodes jubae (Gridelli), Amatodes merkli (Robiche), Amatodes multicostata (Robiche), Amatodes werneri (Robiche), Psectes criberrimus (Koch), and Drosochrus costulatus (Brancsik). Finally, a neotype is designated for Nicandra okahandia (Gebien) in order to fix the taxonomic status of the species.
