Abstract

This is a comprehensive list of all recorded species (866), including 11 subspecies, and genera (113) of Alticinae from Mexico to Panama, but also includes complete distributional data (with references) for each species. It includes all generic and specific synonymies published since the 1939-1940 Coleopterorum Catalogus. There are three new combinations and a new synonym. This checklist basically follows and, for the first time comprehensively synthesizes, the taxon arrangement of the late Jan Bechyne.
