SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION

Emphasis upon publication as a means of “diffusing knowledge” was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: “It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge.” This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series;

Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology

Smithsonian Contributions to Botany

Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences

Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences

Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology

Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology

Smithsonian Folklife Studies

Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space

Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology

In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world.

Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review. Press requirements for manuscript and art preparation are outlined on the inside back cover.

Introduction

While curating the Hispinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in the National Museum Of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution (NMNH), we noticed numerous specimens labelled holotype or allotype. This was surprising because collection policy states that all primary types are to be kept in a separate type collection. Secondary types are kept in the general collection. Proper curation of these specimens led to a review and verification of all Hispinae types deposited in the national collections.

The NMNH collection contains 42 holotypes and 17 lectotypes. There are allotypes of four species, paratypes of 92 species, paralectotypes of 16 species, and syntypes of 57 species.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.—We thank R.E. White, USDA, Systematic Entomology Lab, for access to the collection. P.J. Spangler, Smithsonian Institution, and F.C. Thompson and D.R. Miller, Systematic Entomology Lab, assisted in determining the status of various specimens. G.A. Samuelson, Bishop Museum, assisted in determining the status of some Gressitt types.

METHODS

In order to verify the status of the specimens we consulted the original descriptions. In most instances the data from the labels matched that cited in the original description. In numerous cases the text stated that a type was deposited in either the Smithsonian Institution or the USNM (collections of the former United States National Museum, now in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution).

If the label data did not match the data presented in the original description, further investigation was conducted. Eight of Gressitt's paratypes had label data differing from the original description. According to Article 72b-vii (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN)) these eight specimens are not types. However, Recommendation 72B (ICZN) states that external evidence may be used in determining whether a specimen is a type. Samuelson (pers. comm.) stated that Gressitt did not always record the label data for each type specimen in his publications but that all specimens examined were clearly labelled. The collection at the Bishop Museum has many Gressitt type specimens that are not cited in the original description. We think that this external evidence is sufficient to render the specimens types. Also, the discrepancies are only a day or two from the original description.

Another major problem was Uhmann's (1950a) lectotype designations (calling them holotypes) of 18 species he described earlier (Uhmann, 1930a). Uhmann (1950a) did not mention the label data of the specimens designated as lectotypes but simply listed the species and stated the specimens were deposited in the USNM. Seven of the 18 species have label data that does not match the original description, usually an unlisted locality or the collection date several years different than the published one. Uhmann's type labels are hand written or typed red cards with only holotype or paratype. Although the invalid specimens are labelled in a similar manner to the valid ones, without a definite Uhmann label we cannot be confident that these specimens are the lectotypes. Another consideration is that the Gaedike and Döbler (1971) catalog of the Uhmann types in the Deustschen Entomologischen Institutes cites paralectotypes of Uhmann, 1930a, species with the label data mentioned in the original description.

The final problem is that Nevermann material, although present in the NMNH collection, also is present in other collections, so that the stated type series may be housed elsewhere. We could find no external evidence to support five designations, and thus they are not eligible for lectotype designations. The invalid species are Homalispa nevermanni Uhmann (1930a:212), Cephaloleia aequilata Uhmann (1930a:223), C. exigua Uhmann (1930a:230), C. reventazonia Uhmann (1930a:226), and Xenochalepus deficiens Uhmann (1930a:247). The specimens of Demotispa strandi Uhmann, 1930a:213, and Sceloenopla nevermanni Uhmann, 1930a:242, bearing the lectotype label are not from the type series. A second specimen of each of these two species, labelled paralectotype, is from the type series and is treated herein as a syntype.

Specimens in the NMNH with type designations that were not cited in the original description and for which we could find no external evidence to support a type designation are excluded from this catalog. Specimens are clearly labelled by us as not types and remain in the general collection.

Further literature research on the deposition of Pic and Uhmann types often clarified the issue (Descarpentries and Villiers, 1959; Gaedike and Döbler, 1971). In some instances, however, these articles raised more questions. If there was any taxonomic work on a particular group, these papers also were reviewed for type designations.

In several instances an author stated that a type or types were deposited in the USNM, but we failed to locate them. Whether this was due to the specimen not being deposited or for other reasons, we were unable to determine. These types are Asamangulia longispina Gressitt (1950:104), paratype; Dactylispa kaulina Gressitt (1950:118), paratype; D. planispina Gressitt (1950:125), paratype; Sumitrosis arnetti Butte (1969:18), paratypes.

The former F. Nevermann collection came to the Smithsonian prior to 1950. Nevermann amassed an extensive collection of Costa Rican Hispinae. The Nevermann material was identified by Uhmann and contains numerous type specimens. Nevermann used green labels for locality data. Each specimen contains two green labels, the upper one with country, date, and “F. Nevermann.” The second, affixed so that the writing is opposite that of the first label and flush with it, contains locality and collector. In the text of the catalog the second green label is referred to as “reversed green label.”

The F.A. Monrós collection was purchased by the NMNH from his widow. The collection contains 58,364 chrysomelids from throughout the world. In addition to Monrós type material, types of Baly, Jacoby, Daguerre, Weise, Pic, and others were obtained by exchange (Blake, 1961). Many of the specimens labelled as paratypes are really syntypes.

The J. Daguerre collection was purchased by the NMNH in 1968. It contains 32,418 Argentinian Coleoptera and Neuroptera. The collection contains Uhmann and Monrós type material.

The following catalog of NMNH Hispinae types is arranged alphabetically by species and subspecies names, followed by author(s) name, date and page number of original description, and the original generic placement. If the species is currently in another genus that name follows in brackets. A slash (/) separates data on different labels. The comments in brackets mention label color or other descriptive information. If the handwritten label data is illegible, the word or phrase is followed by (?). Generic placement, species names, and synonyms are used as in Uhmann (1957b, 1958, 1964) unless noted in a more recent work.

Throughout the catalog, the following codens are used: B.P. Bishop Museum (BPBM), The Natural History Museum, London (BMNH; formerly the British Museum (Natural History)), Deutschen Entomologischen Institutes (DEI), and National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution (USNM; collections of the former United States National Museum).

REQUIREMENTS FOR SMITHSONIAN SERIES PUBLICATION

Manuscripts intended for series publication receive substantive review (conducted by their originating Smithsonian museums or offices) and are submitted to the Smithsonian Institution Press with Form SI-36, which must show the approval of the appropriate authority designated by the sponsoring organizational unit. Requests for special treatment—use of color, foldouts, case-bound covers, etc.—require, on the same form, the added approval of the sponsoring authority.

Review of manuscripts and art by the Press for requirements of series format and style, completeness and clarity of copy, and arrangement of all material, as outlined below, will govern, within the judgment of the Press, acceptance or rejection of manuscripts and art.

Copy must be prepared on typewriter or word processor, double-spaced, on one side of standard white bond paper (not erasable), with 1″ margins, submitted as ribbon copy (not carbon or xerox), in loose sheets (not stapled or bound), and accompanied by original art. Minimum acceptable length is 30 pages.

Front matter (preceding the text) should include: title page with only title and author and no other information, abstract page with author, title, series, etc., following the established format; table of contents with indents reflecting the hierarchy of heads in the paper; also, foreword and/or preface, if appropriate.

First page of text should carry the title and author at the top of the page; second page should have only the author's name and professional mailing address, to be used as an unnumbered footnote on the first page of printed text.

Center heads of whatever level should be typed with initial caps of major words, with extra space above and below the head, but no other preparation (such as all caps or underline, except for the underline necessary for generic and specific epithets). Run-in paragraph heads should use period/dashes or colons as necessary.

Tabulations within text (lists of data, often in parallel columns) can be typed on the text page where they occur, but they should not contain rules or numbered table captions.

Formal tables (numbered, with captions, boxheads, stubs, rules) should be submitted as carefully typed, double-spaced copy separate from the text; they will be typeset unless otherwise requested. If camera-copy use is anticipated, do not draw rules on manuscript copy.

Taxonomic keys in natural history papers should use the aligned-couplet form for zoology and may use the multi-level indent form for botany. If cross referencing is required between key and text, do not include page references within the key, but number the keyed-out taxa, using the same numbers with their corresponding heads in the text.

Synonymy in zoology must use the short form (taxon, author, year:page), with full reference at the end of the paper under “Literature Cited.” For botany, the long form (taxon, author, abbreviated journal or book title, volume, page, year, with no reference in “Literature Cited”) is optional.

Text-reference system (author, year:page used within the text, with full citation in “Literature Cited” at the end of the text) must be used in place of bibliographic footnotes in all Contributions Series and is strongly recommended in the Studies Series: “(Jones. 1910:122)” or “…Jones (1910:122).” If bibliographic footnotes are required, use the short form (author, brief title, page) with the full citation in the bibliography.

Footnotes, when few in number, whether annotative or bibliographic, should be typed on separate sheets and inserted immediately after the text pages on which the references occur. Extensive notes must be gathered together and placed at the end of the text in a notes section.

Bibliography, depending upon use, is termed “Literature Cited,” “References,” or “Bibliography.” Spell out titles of books, articles, journals, and monographic series. For book and article titles use sentence-style capitalization according to the rules of the language employed (exception: capitalize all major words in English). For journal and series titles, capitalize the initial word and all subsequent words except articles, conjunctions, and prepositions. Transliterate languages that use a non-Roman alphabet according to the Library of Congress system. Underline (for italics) titles of journals and series and titles of books that are not part of a series. Use the parentheses/colon system for volume (number):pagination: “10(2):5–9.” For alignment and arrangement of elements. follow the format of recent publications in the series for which the manuscript is intended. Guidelines for preparing bibliography may be secured from Series Section, SI Press.

Legends for illustrations must be submitted at the end of the manuscript, with as many legends typed, double-spaced, to a page as convenient.

Illustrations must be submitted as original art (not copies) accompanying, but separate from, the manuscript. Guidelines for preparing art may be secured from Series Section, SI Press. All types of illustrations (photographs, line drawings, maps, etc.) may be intermixed throughout the printed text. They should be termed Figures and should be numbered consecutively as they will appear in the monograph. If several illustrations are treated as components of a single composite figure, they should be designated by lowercase italic letters on the illustration; also, in the legend and in text references the italic letters (underlined in copy) should be used: “Figure 9b.” Illustrations that are intended to follow the printed text may be termed Plates, and any components should be similarly lettered and referenced: “Plate 9b.” Keys to any symbols within an illustration should appear on the art rather than in the legend.

Some points of style: Do not use periods after such abbreviations as “mm, ft, USNM, NNE.” Spell out numbers “one” through “nine” in expository text, but use digits in all other cases if possible. Use of the metric system of measurement is preferable; where use of the English system is unavoidable, supply metric equivalents in parentheses. Use the decimal system for precise measurements and relationships, common fractions for approximations. Use day/month/year sequence for dates: “9 April 1976.” For months in tabular listings or data sections, use three-letter abbreviations with no periods: “Jan, Mar, Jun,” etc. Omit space between initials of a personal name: “J.B. Jones.”

Arrange and paginate sequentially every sheet of manuscript in the following order: (1) title page. (2) abstract, (3) contents, (4) foreword and/or preface, (5) text, (6) appendixes, (7) notes section, (8) glossary, (9) bibliography. (10) legends, (11) tables. Index copy may be submitted at page proof stage, but plans for an index should be indicated when manuscript is submitted.
