The type material of Australian Anoplognathini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) housed in Swedish natural history collections is reviewed, concerning three genera: Anoplognathus Leach, 1815, Amblyterus MacLeay, 1819, and Repsimus MacLeay, 1819. The species were described by G.J. Billberg, J.W. Dalman, L. Gyllenhal, C.J. Schönherr, O. Swartz, and C.P. Thunberg. The contemporary type material of W.S. MacLeay in the Macleay Museum, Sydney, is also examined as it has been overlooked by previous researchers. In total, type specimens for 12 species described between 1817 and 1822 were found in the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet in Stockholm the Evolutionsmuseet in Uppsala and the Macleay Museum. Five of these species are valid: Anoplognathus brunnipennis, (Gyllenhal, 1817); A. olivieri (Schönherr Dalman, 1817); A. porosus (Dalman, 1817); Amblyterus cicatricosus (Gyllenhal, 1817); and Repsimus manicatus (Swartz, 1817). The other seven species are junior synonyms, as follows (senior synonym first): A. brunnipennis = Rutela chloropyga Thunberg, 1822 (new synonym); A. olivieri = Rutela lacunosa Thunberg, 1822 (new synonym); A. viridiaeneus (Donovan, 1805) = A. latreillei (Schönherr Gyllenhal, 1817); A. viriditarsus Leach, 1815 = Rutela analis Dalman, 1817; and R. manicatus = Anoplognathus brownii W.J. MacLeay, 1819 = A. dytiscoides W. J. MacLeay, 1819 = Rutela ruficollis Thunberg, 1822 (new synonym). Authorship of A. latreillei and A. olivieri is corrected, as noted above. Anoplognathus brunnipennis has been misidentified for the last 60 years at least, leading to the synonymy noted above. Anoplognathus flavipennis Boisduval, 1835 (revised status), is reinstated as the oldest available name for the misidentified A. brunnipennis and the types of A. flavipennis in the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, are illustrated. Lectotypes are designated for: Anoplognathus brownii, A. flavipennis, A. dytiscoides, Melolontha cicatricosa, Rutela analis, R. brunnipennis, R. lacunosa, R. latreillei, R. manicata, R. olivieri, R. porosa, R. ruficollis, and R. chloropyga. Photographs of all type specimens examined are presented for the first time.
澳大利亚 Anoplognathini （鞘翅目：金龟科：丽金龟亚科）的模式标本在瑞典自然历史收藏中进行了综述，涉及三个属：Anoplognathus Leach，1815，Amblyterus MacLeay，1819 和 Repsimus MacLeay，1819。这些物种由 G.J. Billberg、J.W. Dalman、L. Gyllenhal、C.J. Schönherr、O. Swartz 和 C.P. Thunberg 描述。悉尼 Macleay 博物馆中 W.S. MacLeay 的当代模式标本也被检查过，因为它被以前的研究人员忽视了。总共在斯德哥尔摩的 Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet、乌普萨拉的 Evolutionsmuseet 和 Macleay 博物馆发现了 1817 年至 1822 年期间描述的 12 种物种的模式标本。其中有 5 种是有效的：Anoplognathus brunnipennis，（Gyllenhal，1817）；A. olivieri（Schönherr Dalman，1817）；A. porosus（Dalman，1817）；Amblyterus cicatricosus（Gyllenhal，1817）；和 Repsimus manicatus（Swartz，1817）。其他七种是次异名，如下所示（首为高级同义词）：A. brunnipennis = Rutela chloropyga Thunberg，1822（新同义词）；A. olivieri = Rutela lacunosa Thunberg，1822（新同义词）；A. viridiaeneus（Donovan，1805）= A. latreillei（Schönherr Gyllenhal，1817）；A. viriditarsus Leach，1815 = Rutela analis Dalman，1817；和 R. manicatus = Anoplognathus brownii W.J. MacLeay，1819 = A. dytiscoides W. J. MacLeay，1819 = Rutela ruficollis Thunberg，1822（新同义词）。正如上面所指出的，A. latreillei 和 A. olivieri 的作者身份得到了更正。Anoplognathus brunnipennis 在过去至少 60 年中一直被错误识别，导致了上述的同名词。Anoplognathus flavipennis Boisduval，1835（修订状态），被恢复为错误识别的 A. brunnipennis 和巴黎国家自然历史博物馆中 A. flavipennis 类型的最古老可用名称，并对其进行了说明。指定了模式标本：Anoplognathus brownii、A. flavipennis、A. dytiscoides、Melolontha cicatricosa、Rutela analis、R. brunnipennis、R. lacunosa、R. latreillei、R. manicata、R. olivieri、R. porosa、R. ruficollis 和 R. chloropyga。首次展示了所有检查过的模式标本的照片。
