| Sumario: | The type collection of the families Dytiscidae, Histeridae, Hydraenidae and Staphylinidae (Coleoptera) deposited in the Natural History Museum of Barcelona, Spain, has been organised, revised and documented. It contains 130 type specimens belonging to 66 different taxa. Of note is the presence of a considerable number of hypogean species of the Staphylinidae family thanks to the descriptions by Enri Coiffait and Francesc Español. 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 following the description of the taxa. |
