Abstract

There are about 1500 genus-group names available in the scarab subfamilies Dynastinae, Rutelinae and Cetoniinae by the end of 2023. Of these, 997 refer to currently accepted genera, 227 in Dynastinae, 261 in Rutelinae and 509 in Cetoniinae. A further >650 genus-group names are given subgeneric rank or placed in synonymy. The chronology of descriptions of currently valid genera shows similar patterns in each of the three subfamilies with many described in the 1840s, a large group in the late 1800s (especially the Cetoniinae) and early 1900s (Dynastinae and Rutelinae) and a steady increase in numbers following World War 2. We predict that discovery of new genera, as well as the potential for further splitting of mega-genera with elevation of subgenera to full generic level, will continue the upward trend, albeit somewhat balanced by combining the numerous monobasic genera.

世界上所有的属Dynastinae 亚科、Rutelinae 亚科和 Cetoniinae 亚科 (Animalia: Arthropoda: Insecta: Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
到 2023 年底,猩红亚科 Dynastinae、Rutelinae 和 Cetoniinae 中大约有 1500 个属群名称。其中,997 个属指的是目前已被接受的属,227 个属属于猩红亚科,261 个属属于猩红亚科,509 个属属于猩红亚科。另有超过 650 个属群名称被列为亚属或同义。在三个亚科中,目前有效的属的描述年表显示出相似的模式,许多属在 19 世纪 40 年代被描述,一大批属在 19 世纪晚期(尤其是 Cetoniinae)和 20 世纪早期(Dynastinae 和 Rutelinae)被描述,第二次世界大战后属的数量稳步增加。我们预测,新属的发现,以及超大属的进一步分裂和亚属升格为全属的可能性,将继续保持上升趋势,尽管通过合并众多的单基属会在一定程度上平衡这一趋势。
