Resumen:
Tenebrionidae are representad in the country by six subfamilies, 34 tribes, 108
genera, and 488 species (320 endemic). Their taxonomic history, tables with the taxonomic
diversity of the subfamilies and specific diversity of the genera, a list of the museums
and collections of Argentina and abroad, and the main institutions when types were
depositad are given. A table summarizing tribal and generic revisions during the last 50
ycars is also given. Most studies on this family in Argentina have dealt with adult taxonomy,
and little is known about inunature stages, biology, ecology, and cytogenetics of the
spccies. Knowledge un physiology, phylogeny, and biogeography is also very scarce.
The economical, ecological, and scientific importance are analyzed, and the main
environmental changes that threaten local faunas are mentioned. There is wide spectrum
of possibilities to undertake future research on Tenebrionidae in Argentina.in Argentina have dealt with adult taxonomy,
