Holotype tracker for Philippine long-horned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

By -
[Main] [Long-horned beetles of PH]

This tracker is created to assist researchers who are interested in studying the holotypes of Philippine long-horned beetles. The following is not a full list, but shall be constantly updated. The information presented here are based only on the publications listed under the references.

The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) defines a "holotype" as "the single specimen upon which a new nominal species-group taxon is based in the original publication" (Chapter 16, Article 73.1, reference 9).

The Wildlife Export Certification issued by the DENR for specimens that are transported outside of the country states that:

"Further, upon completion of the Research purposes, representatives of all the species collected, excluding holotypes may be retained on deposit with the [foreign university] and all remaining specimens including holotypes shall be returned to the Philippines and deposited at the National Museum of the Philippines or [local university] museum. The specimens retained shall remain the exclusive property of the Philippine Government and must be returned upon request of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)."

As a quick visual aid, the following color coding is applied:
  • (Blue) Deposited in the National Museum of the Philippines
  • (Green) Deposited in Philippine local universities
  • (Gold) Deposited outside of the Philippines, and collected AFTER the enactment of RA 9147
  • (Purple) Deposited outside of the Philippines, but collected BEFORE the enactment of RA 9147
