CATÁLOGO PROVISIONAL DE BRÚQUIDOS (COLEOPTERA: BRUCHIDAE) DE LAS ISLAS BALEARES

Provisional catalogue of the bruchid beetles (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) of the Balearic Islands Abstract: A catalog of the beetles of the family Bruchidae of the Balearic Islands (Spain) has been compiled, on the basis of histori- cal references, those found in our first review of the Ibero-Balearic fauna (Yus Ramos, 1977) and a new review of various private and institutional collections that include specimens taken on these islands. As a result of the study, a total of 37 species have been found, of which four are first records (including a new genus) from the Balearic Islands and the remaining ones are confirmations of other previous records. Thus, once all previous records have been included and the nomenclature has been updated, we conclude provisionally that the bruchid fauna of the Balearic Islands consists of 50 species, of which three are Spermophagus, one Acan- thoscelides; one Mimosestes; one Pseudopachymerina; 30 Bruchidius and 14 Bruchus. This represents roughly 62.5% of the entire Iberian-Balearic fauna as it is currenly known. Our study has revealed nothing remarkable as far as biogeographical patterns are concerned.
