[Taxacom] Beetle taxonomists wanted

[Chris Grinter]

I'm looking for any beetle taxonomists who would be interested in specimens
of the following beetle families from the Fiji Arthropod Survey
(http://hbs.bishopmuseum.org/fiji/).  Traps were collected on multiple
Fijian islands between 2000-2004 by Dr. Evert I. Schlinger, and have been
stored in ~90% EtOH since.  All of the following are sorted to family and
are homeless (no known interested taxonomist), and in many cases I have a
very large backlog of 50+ vials per families.  If you or anyone you know
would be interested in working on these groups please contact me
(information below) for more information regarding this project.

 

Thank you,

Chris Grinter
