Abstract

This paper reviews the 77 Old World genera of blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae). Included is a key to genera and a synopsis of each genus. The generic synopses incorporate synonyms, number of species, geographic distribution, and the most significant references on taxonomy, life history and certain other topics. Additional notes are appended to several of the generic treatments. Formal nomenclatural changes include two new generic synonymies, one new status, three new combinations and the transfer of one subgenus.
