The aim of Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera is to provide a tool that addresses the most urgent needs:
1) a complete list of available names of taxa occurring in the Palaearctic Region with authors and publications dates,
2) a list of references to primary publications,
3) distributions of the species and subspecies.
Thus, the Catalogue is expected to respond to questions related to biodiversity, and to increase the badly needed nomenclatural stability.
The present updated and revised Catalogue is a collective international work by 12 authors from Austria, Belgium, China, Korea, Japan and Russia. It includes about 6453 species names of 913 genera. The general structure and the taxonomic, distributional and bibliographical information of the first edition of the Catalogue are followed with minor changes.

"[An] outstanding contribution to our knowledge of the cerambycids of the Palaearctic region. The extensive Catalogue presents up-to-date information on the nomenclature of each species, the type species of each genus and lists all the representative species, and subspecies, along with known synonyms. It will hopefully inspire further studies of these beetles faunistics, especially in countries where the group is poorly studied and will aid the work of conservationists, systematists and ecologists." - Michael Cox, in: Entomologist’s Gazette, 2021, Vol. 72: pp. 176–178
