Table 2. Authors who contributed to the description of the Histeridae biodiversity recorded in Brazilian territory according to Bicho et al. (2023) and the respective number of species described by each of them, in descending order.*Although the number of species described by each author is presented individually, many of them published new species in collaboration, such as many species described by Caterino,Dégallier and Tishechkin.This means that the sum of the number of species described by each author is much greater than the number of species recorded in Brazil.
