Description
Summary:The Third International Tenebrionoidea Symposium (ITS) was held at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona USA on August 7th and 8th, 2013. Researchers from ten countries participated with a total of 36 attendees. It was the first formal meeting of the international tenebrionoid research community since the October 2005 in Lyon, France. During the meeting 21 presentations were given ranging from species-level revisions to broad scale Tenebrionidae phylogenies and inventories, darkling beetles intercepted by USDA-APHIS during agricultural quarantine interceptions, and the first steps towards the construction of a Coleopteran Anatomy Ontology. Most articles included in this resulting special issue of ZooKeys are based on the contents of presentations during the Symposium, although papers submitted by all attendants were also welcome.
