It is designed to be a companion volume to <strong>the</strong> distributional checklist <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> beetles <strong>of</strong> Florida (Peck and Thomas 1998). Much work remains to be done to completely establish <strong>the</strong> identity, validity, and accuracy <strong>of</strong> presently used names <strong>of</strong> <strong>Cuba</strong>n beetles. Additionally, much more field and laboratory study is required to document <strong>the</strong> unreported or undescribed species, and <strong>the</strong>ir distributions and bionomics in <strong>Cuba</strong>. Methods and Materials The body <strong>of</strong> this book is a species checklist, <strong>with</strong> summarized information on <strong>the</strong> distribution and bionomics <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> beetles <strong>of</strong> <strong>Cuba</strong>. The list was constructed from two kinds <strong>of</strong> primary sources. The first was modern taxonomic revisions or summaries <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> beetle fauna <strong>of</strong> <strong>Cuba</strong> or <strong>the</strong> West Indies, or adjacent land masses. These are mentioned where appropriate for each family unit, and are cited in full at <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> each family unit. If no modern literature is known to me, a preliminary list was constructed from Blackwelder’s (1944, 1957) monumental checklist <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Beetles</strong> <strong>of</strong> Latin America and <strong>the</strong> update <strong>of</strong> this by Arnett (1983). Blackwelder’s checklist was partly formed by building upon <strong>the</strong> earlier lists by Leng and Mutchler (1914, 1917). Bruner (1951) contributed <strong>Cuba</strong>n records missed by Blackwelder. The beetle species described by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Cuba</strong>n entomologist Fernando de Zayas (1988) are included here, as well as <strong>the</strong> suggested synonomies <strong>of</strong> Ivie (1991). O<strong>the</strong>r general works on beetles <strong>of</strong> <strong>Cuba</strong> or <strong>the</strong> West Indies are few. An exception are <strong>the</strong> chapters on aquatic beetle families by Spangler (1982). Although <strong>the</strong>se are a valuable entry to <strong>the</strong> literature, <strong>the</strong>y contain little direct or new information about <strong>Cuba</strong>n beetles. The Zoological Record has been searched from 1950-2003. I have also searched Biological Abstracts on CD-ROM (from 1989-1995), Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (1994 to 2000), AGRICOLA (from 1969 to 2000), and Entomology Abstracts (vol. 1 to 31, 2000). The primary key words in <strong>the</strong> searches were “<strong>Cuba</strong>” and “Coleoptera.” After I prepared preliminary lists, I <strong>the</strong>n sought specialists in <strong>Cuba</strong> or elsewhere who could check <strong>the</strong>ir speciality families for accuracy and completeness. The contribution <strong>of</strong> each specialist is acknowledged for each family or section <strong>the</strong>y reviewed. When possible, data have been added from collections in <strong>Cuba</strong>, and some in North America such as <strong>the</strong> Field Museum (Chicago), and <strong>the</strong> Museum <strong>of</strong> Comparative Zoology (Harvard University). The list is intended to be as complete as I have been able to make it <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> time and resources available. It is constructed so that it can serve <strong>the</strong> needs
