Coleoptera

A list of species in the Coleoptera collection,
Natural History Museum, University of Oslo

The list was compiled by Kristian Nilssen (intern at the Department of Zoology, 2007) and Vladimir Gusarov, and generated on July 9, 2007. Not all identifications are recent. The nomenclature follows the most recent published catalogues (Nilsson 2001, Löbl & Smetana 2003, Nilsson & Van Vondel 2005) and on-line catalogues (Australian Faunal Directory). Sometimes our list is a compromise between several recent catalogues. Please note that this list does not cover the holdings of our Norwegian collection.

The list is arranged alphabetically by family, genus and species. You can use your browser's Search function to look for a particular name. As of July 9, 2007, the following families have been included:
