Specimens
and information sought
This list is intended to facilitate cooperation among entomologists through the exchange of specimens. How?
- If you have collected material or can collect material that is superfluous to your research, check the list to see who might benefit from those specimens.
-If you have residues for offer please submit the relevant data for posting on this web site.
-If you have a request for material that might be obtained in Canada please submit that request for posting on this web site.
Please submit all requests to the Biological Survey of Canada Secretariat (bsc@mus-nature.ca). A form for this purpose is provided below, or follow the format of the entries below
in the text of an email (or by regular mail).
Requests that
are received by the end of January will appear in the Spring issue of the
Newsletter of the Biological Survey of Canada. The listings on this web
page will be updated as requests are received.
