The type specimens of Tachinidae (Diptera) housed in the entomological collection of the Museo de La Plata were examined and listed. The collection contains 47 type specimens consisting of 32 species described by E. E. Blanchard and three described by R. Cortés. Comparison of their original descriptions with the label information reveals the existence of 25 holotypes, 19 syntypes and three paratypes. Complete information is given for each type, including reference to the original description, label data, and preservation condition. A second list is added with specimens labeled as types, but not originally designated as such.
