The Millipede Collections of the World

Petra Sierwald Abigail Julia Reft

Abstract

The present catalog of millipede specimen collections of the world lists 268 biological collec-
tion institutions from 143 countries. The data in the catalog are derived from a questionnaire-
based survey forwarded by standard mail and electronically to more than 1,000 biological
collection institutions worldwide. For 54 countries, no millipede collections could be identified.
Nine private collections are listed, though we assume these are underrepresented in this catalog.
Although the catalog focuses on collections of Recent millipede material, a preliminary list of
43 collections containing fossil millipedes is included. Each listed Recent millipede collection
is described using the data captured through the questionnaire, giving details on the size of the
collection, type material and type authors, organization and cataloging status of the collections,
and geographic coverage of the holdings. Of the 268 millipede collections, nine collections
house more than 20,000 specimen lots and 77 house more than 1,000 specimen lots. The
accuracy of the descriptions of these 77 collections was proofed by the respective curators in
charge between July 2003 and February 2004. Type material is reported from 89 collections,
with six collections harboring more than 1,000 type lots each. More than 21,400 type lots
(including all type categories) were reported by the collections. The data on type material are
also presented in a reference table, listing for each millipede species author all collections that
reported types from this author. Important voucher material of several millipede authors is
noted for the collections that house them. The collections are listed by country and for large
countries also by provinces or states. For each millipede collection, the mailing address of the
institution, telephone and fax numbers, and name of the curatorial staff are given, as are the
correspondents' e-mail addresses.

Arthropods commonly referred to as Myriap-
oda comprise the classes Chilopoda (cen-
tipedes), Diplopoda (millipedes), Symphyla, and
Pauropoda. The last two, Symphyla and Pauro-
poda, contain relatively few described species at
this time — fewer than 500 each. Centipedes are
estimated to comprise about 3,000 described spe-
cies, which are currently classified in five orders
and more than 20 families. The most species-rich
group of the Myriapoda is the millipedes, with
more than 10,000 described species, classified in

at least 15 orders, 144 families (Shelley, 2003),
and 2,950 genera. None of the four myriapod
groups is comprehensively cataloged at the spe-
cies level, but for millipedes, genus-level cata-
logs (Jeekel, 1971; Hoffman, 1980; Shelley et
al., 2000) are available covering all genera de-
scribed between 1758 and 1999 (see Sierwald,
2001).

Biodiversity, the variety of all life forms on our
planet, has become the focal point of many public,
political, and scientific discussions, often culmi-

FIELDIANA: ZOOLOGY, N.S., NO. 103, DECEMBER 10, 2004, PP. 1-100

nating in the acknowledgment of a biodiversity
crisis. The current rapid loss of species is com-
parable to the mass extinction events in Earth's
history (NSB, 1989). However, while the fact of
loss is indisputable, its magnitude is uncertain:
apart from a few large-bodied organisms (mainly
vertebrates and seed plants), most living species
remain undiscovered, not even existing as names
in the scientific literature. Estimates of the planet's
species richness vary widely, but up to 85% of
existing species are assumed to be unknown to
science (Systematica Agenda, 2000, 1994). Com-
pleting a global inventory of biodiversity (Mis-
sion I, Systematics Agenda 2000, 1994) will re-
quire the collection of some specimens of all spe-
cies in the (few) places where they still thrive, a
description of their characteristics, the naming of
them, and the depositing of type and voucher
specimens in publicly accessible biological spec-
imen collections. Biological specimen collections
play a pivotal role in this endeavor; such collec-
tions have maintained identified material of the
known fauna and flora for more than two centu-
ries, and must continue to do so. Furthermore, a
good portion of the unknown flora and fauna can
be found in the unsorted and unidentified backlog
of specimen collections.

The European community recently recognized
the lack of collection accessibility as a central im-
pediment to all forms of biological research and
established BioCASE: A Biodiversity Collection
Access Service for Europe (see http://www.
biocase.org/default.shtml). "The BioCASE proj-
ect will establish a web-based information service
providing researchers with unified access to bio-
logical collections in Europe ... to enhance the
over-all value of biological collections as an es-
sential, but presently fragmented and under-ex-
ploited European research infrastructure for en-
vironmental sciences, systematics, and life scienc-
es in general."

Such a registry of collections represents an im-
provement of scientific infrastructure, but signifi-
cant challenges remain: specimen collections
worldwide suffer from a notorious lack of re-
sources. This is especially true for collections of
invertebrates belonging to taxonomically neglect-
ed groups, with myriapods being a case in point.
In contrast to vertebrate collections, which often
are completely computerized and thus highly ac-
cessible, invertebrate collection holdings are rare-
ly electronically captured. Furthermore, collec-
tions of such taxon groups reside within extensive
arthropod and invertebrate collections, often cared

for by a single curator or collection manager. For
many taxonomically neglected organism groups,
such as the Myriapoda, we do not even know
where such useful specimen collections might be
located. In 1972, the 2nd International Congress
of Myriapodology recommended that "myriapo-
dologists throughout the world . . . bring together
the information needed for a world-list of collec-
tions in this field" (Kraus, 1974). With the present
catalog of the millipede collections of the world,
this recommendation is implemented more than
30 years later for one of the myriapod groups.
Most collections listed here as harboring milli-
pede collections also house specimens of the re-
maining three myriapod groups — centipedes, pau-
ropods, and symphylans — and accordingly this
catalog will be of use for research focusing on
these groups as well.

Materials and Methods

When we began this project, in 1999, we first as-
sembled a worldwide list of natural history mu-
seums and other biological collection institutions.
Initially, the list was based on three main sources:
(1) the listing of insect and spider collections of
the world by Arnett et al. (1993), (2) the global
listing of arachnid collections by Saunier (1980),
and (3) a list of North American millipede collec-
tions provided by Dr. Rowland Shelley (unpub-
lished). As the project progressed, Internet search-
es were used to locate previously unlisted insti-
tutions that might harbor arthropod collections.
Address changes and contact information (names,
e-mail addresses, and fax numbers for curatorial
staff) were gathered through Web searches as
well. During the final stages of manuscript prep-
aration, in July 2003, curatorial staff of millipede
collections with more than 1,000 reported lots
(see Table 2, 74 collections) proofed and updated
the description for their collections. Nearly all
collections reported back to us, and all requested
changes were made in the manuscript.

A questionnaire was designed to assemble
baseline data on available scientific millipede col-
lections. Decisions as to which information ought
to be gathered were guided largely by the data
types assembled by Saunier (1980) for arachnid
collections and those presented by Arnett et al.
(1993) for insect and spider collections. A copy
of the questionnaire can be found in Appendix 1 .
The survey focused on three types of information:

FIELDIANA: ZOOLOGY

(1) type lots (including all formal type categories)
and associated data (especially type catalogs and
species authors), (2) the general collection (size
and condition), distinguishing between the formed
collection (lots identified at least to family level)
and the backlog (unidentified or identified to order
level), and (3) the level and type of collection
cataloging (from accession files on index cards to
electronic databases). Data provided here for the
general collection include the size of the collec-
tion (number of lots; a lot is defined as all spec-
imens belonging to a single species collected at a
single collecting event, usually the content of a
"vial" in the identified [= formed] collection),
the size and organization of the backlog (whether
identified to order level), the physical arrangement
of the collection, the preservation of specimens,
and the main geographic regions covered by the
collection. The final section of the questionnaire
captured data on associated collections such as re-
prints, microscope slides, and bulk samples, as
well as information on current collection growth.
Initially, about 600 questionnaires were mailed
to museums and biological collection institutions
around the world. As the project progressed and
more biological collection institutions were con-
tacted, the questionnaire was forwarded electron-
ically to the curatorial staff of the collections. We
also contacted numerous researchers in the fields
of myriapodology and arachnology to locate pre-
viously unknown collections. Many myriapod col-
lections come under the responsibility of arachnid
curators, who supported this project through their
generous assistance. The membership lists of the
International Society of Arachnology (Annuaire
des Arachnologistes Mondiaux) and of the Centre
International de Myriapodologie in the C. I. M.
Bulletin, as well as participant lists of past Inter-
national Congresses of Arachnology (Chicago,
USA, 1998, and Badplas, South Africa, 2001) and
of the International Congresses of Myriapodology
(Bialowieza, Poland, 1999, and Mtunzini, South
Africa, 2002) supplied up-to-date e-mail and
mailing addresses used during this project.

Format of Collection Descriptions

Most millipede collections are described in the
following format:

Name of collection, Name of Museum/Institution,
Address (Institutional Abbreviation, see Table 4)

Curatorial Staff: Name

Phone: Country code-area code-number
Fax: Country code-area code-number
E-mail: Address

Number of type lots (species author names; author
names separated by ";". Joint authorship is des-
ignated with &). Separate type collection estab-
lished? Type catalog information. General collec-
tion: total number of lots (est. or count); number
of lots identified to family; number of lots in
backlog (identified to order?). Preservation (spec-
imen storage), label types (printed with laser or
dot-matrix printer, typed, handwritten, other). Col-
lection organization (alphabetical, systematic,
geographic order, or other). Collection catalog:
file cards, catalog books, accession records, and/
or electronic catalogs (taxon or lot/specimen-
based flat-file or relational database). If individual
lot numbers have been assigned, this is indicated
in the collection description. Geographic coverage
of holdings was reported by the collections in the
following more or less inclusive categories: Ne-
arctic (western and eastern North America), Mid-
dle America (Central America, West Indies), Neo-
tropics, Palearctic (Europe, Mediterranean/north-
ern Africa, Asia), Oriental (India, Southeast Asia),
Ethiopian (western, eastern, and southern Africa),
Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands. Associ-
ated collections: reprint and microscope slides
collections, specific voucher material, prints,
slides, bulk samples. Estimated yearly collection
growth.

Organization of the Catalog and Accuracy of
Collection Descriptions

The listing of biological collection institutions
contacted during the study with the descriptions
of their millipede collections forms the main part
of this work. We attempted to establish contact
with more than 1 ,000 institutions. Despite repeat-
ed efforts, there are a number of institutions from
which no response was received. These institu-
tions are listed in the first paragraph under each
country name. The biological collection institu-
tions are organized in alphabetical order of the
country. Institutions we contacted that do not cur-
rently house millipede collections are listed under
each country or province, before the descriptions
of millipede collections. Such information may be
considered unnecessary by some users of this cat-
alog; however, many institutions with the word
"Insect" or "Arthropod" in their name could po-

SIERWALD & REFT: MILLIPEDE COLLECTIONS OF THE WORLD

tentially have millipede holdings. We obtained at
least one confirmation for each of the institutions
listed as lacking millipede collections, either from
the curatorial staff or from a taxon specialist fa-
miliar with the institution.

The data were entered as the respondents pro-
vided them. The amount and type of data received
varied to a certain degree, and thus not all collec-
tion descriptions are fully congruent. Some survey
questions were not relevant to small collections,
or these small collections have no designated cu-
ratorial staff overseeing the diplopod collection,
resulting in less information than that obtained
from larger collections. Larger collections were
more likely to benefit from specifically assigned
personnel. Table 1 lists countries with the number
of millipede collections reported from each coun-
try. Table 2 lists millipede collections by size
(based on the number of reported lots). The size
of collections, as given in lot numbers, is often
estimated (abbreviated as "est." in the collection
descriptions) by the respondent, since most col-
lections are not completely cataloged. For a small
number of collections, actual counts are given. Ta-
ble 3 contains information on the deposition of
millipede type specimens. For each author de-
scribing millipede species, the abbreviations of
the institutions housing the respective type spec-
imens are listed. The information in this table was
compiled from the information provided by the
curators and has not been verified against the orig-
inal taxonomic literature, by the curators in charge
of the collections, or by us. In many collections,
the type holdings are not separated from the main
collection, and type catalogs exist for only a few
collections. Therefore, Table 3 is almost certainly
incomplete and may contain erroneous entries. Ta-
ble 3 will be posted on Field Museum's Milli-
PEET Web site (http://www.finnh.org/research-
collections/zoology/zoosites/millipeet/home.
html), and curators are encouraged to check the
information and e-mail updates to the senior au-
thor. Table 4 is an alphabetical list of all collection
abbreviations as they appear in this work. We
tried to clear all used abbreviations with the cu-
rators in charge of the respective collection. This
list is largely in concordance with the collection
abbreviation list maintained on the Web site by
the Bernice P. Bishop Museum (Hawaii, USA),
but in some cases collections requested that a dif-
ferent abbreviation be used (Abbreviations for Insect
and Spider Collections of the World; http://
hhs.hishopmuseum.org/codens/codens-inst.html).
Our millipede collection catalog contains a few col-

lections not listed on the Bishop Museum Web site.
We established new abbreviations for these col-
lections after communicating with the curatorial
staff. We did not establish or list abbreviations for
institutions we contacted that do not currently
house millipede collections and that are not listed
on the Bishop Museum Web site.

Results

Millipede collections and, by extension, myriapod
collections occur in a patchy distribution around
the globe. Because myriapods suffer from general
research neglect, vast regions of the world and
many countries do not have any known collec-
tions of these organisms (Table 1). Regions with-
out reported millipede collections typically lack
natural history collections in general (compare to
Arnett et al., 1993). The largest number of milli-
pede collections are found in North America, with
113 collections (78 in the United States), and in
Europe, with 90 collections (15 in the United
Kingdom and 14 in Germany). Australia, South
Africa, and Japan report 14, 7, and 5 collections,
respectively. All other areas are underserved with
regard to millipedes, especially most of Africa,
Central and South America, and Asia. In some
cases, millipede material from such areas can be
found in some of the large myriapod collections
outside the source country, as Bueno-Villegas et
al. (2004) recently noted for Mexican millipede
material. For this reason, the questionnaire re-
quested data on the geographic origin of millipede
material, and these data are included in each col-
lection description.

We identified a total of 268 millipede collec-
tions (Table 4. indicated in bold) worldwide. Of
these, 173 collections house between 50 and more
than 20,000 lots (Table 2). In comparison, Saunier
(1980) listed 140 arachnid collections worldwide.
Specimen collections of the class Diplopoda are
typically housed with other myriapod material, the
centipedes, symphylans. and pauropods. These
myriapod collections are most commonly associ-
ated with the entomology departments of their in-
stitutions. In some cases they are cared for within
an invertebrate section. Large myriapod collec-
tions are typically united with arachnid collections
in a section on Arachnida and Myriapoda (e.g., at
the National Museum of Natural History. Wash-
ington. D.C.. USA). While several myriapod col-
lections are currently curated by a staff taxon spe-

FIELDIANA: ZOOLOGY

cialist, in many collections the curatorial staff is
responsible for a wide range of nonhexapod
groups (sometimes even for all invertebrates). The
lack of staff taxon specialists hampers the devel-
opment of these collections.

Myriapod and thus millipede collections suffer
worldwide from neglect due to resource shortag-
es. Many large millipede collections have some
form of accession records in catalog books; some
kept species-level index card catalogs (e.g., SMF).
Insofar as most millipede collections are not fully
cataloged (electronically or otherwise), the data
on the size of the collection are often estimated.
A total of 67 collections reported some form of
electronic databasing, nearly equally divided into
those employing lot- or specimen-based data
models (28 collections) and taxon-based efforts
(26 collections; a few collections did not specify
the data model). Electronic data capture is also
roughly equally split into flat-file (22 collections)
and relational databases (30 collections). Current-
ly, only three collections (INHS, ISNB, and
ZMUC) provide online catalogs of their holdings.
Many collections report computerization in pro-
gress (e.g., among others, FMNH, MNHN,
SMNK, and USNM). Such efforts are noted in
each collection description.

Concern for type material is rooted in its im-
portance for systematic research and stabilization
of the classification. For that reason, many bio-
logical specimen institutions physically separate
type holdings from the general collection. Thirty-
eight of the 89 millipede collections harboring
types have separated the types from the main col-
lection. Because of safety concerns, type material
is frequently subject to stringent limitations for
the purpose of loans and shipments. Some collec-
tions require the use of costly courier services for
transport of type material and subject the borrow-
ing institution or researcher to the charges both
ways (e.g., ZMUH). Such practices reduce the
availability of type material and hamper the al-
ready fragile field of taxonomic research in dip-
lopods. Because the type material of developing
countries is almost exclusively housed in the older
museums of the developed world, this practice
discriminates against progress in millipede biodi-
versity studies in poorly researched regions. Type
catalogs, on the other hand, support research pro-
gress and have been published by a number of
collections. Recently, six type catalogs became
available online (BCPM, GNM, INHS, MCZ,
WAMP, and ZMUC). As listed in the present cat-
alog, more than 21,400 millipede type lots (in-

cluding all formal type categories) were reported
by the collections (this includes conservative es-
timates for collections that reported an unknown
number of type lots). Considering the estimated
number of 10,000 nominal millipede species, and
assuming that on average, millipede species are
based on two or three type specimens, the number
of reported type lots is encouraging. It indicates
that the type specimens of most millipede species
are safe and available in museums for future
study, and demonstrates that scientific collections
are successful in carrying out their most important
mission.

Many millipede holdings are historic without
current collection growth, and some harbor large
amounts of unsorted backlog. Some substantial
collections with valuable historic voucher material
linger in warehouses and basements, separated
from curatorial expertise. The accessibility of a
significant number of millipede collections in
North America and Europe is due to the efforts
of two myriapodologists, Drs. Richard L. Hoff-
man (Virginia Museum of Natural History) and
Rowland M. Shelley (North Carolina State Mu-
seum of Natural Sciences). Both lent their exper-
tise to various collections, sorted and identified
material, organized type collections, and arranged
collections systematically during their visits over
the past three decades. Other myriapodologists
also shouldered some of the burden by caring for
collections they visited in particular regions of the
world.

Private millipede collections may be underrep-
resented in this catalog; certain private collec-
tions, some of them containing paratypes, prefer
not to be listed. We are aware of the following
private collections (also listed in the main part of
this work): Puerto Rico, USA, Dr. Antonio Perez-
Asso; Venezuela, Caracas, Dr. Manuel Gonzalez
Sponga; South Korea, Chonbuk University, Dr. L-
Y Lim; and Japan, Dr. Tsurusaki, Mr. Kiyoshi
Ishii, Mr. Mitsuo Takano, Dr. Keizaburo Shino-
hara, and Prof. Dr. Yoshiaki Nishikawa. Collec-
tions held privately or at universities in the past,
such as the Chamberlin and Causey collections,
are now located at the USNM and the FSCA, re-
spectively, and are listed with their current insti-
tutions.

Fossil Millipede Collections

Assembling a catalog of collections of Recent
millipede specimens was the main objective of

SIERWALD & REFT: MILLIPEDE COLLECTIONS OF THE WORLD

this project; we did not specifically contact insti-
tutions likely to harbor fossil millipede material.
However, Drs. G. Edgecombe (AMS), J. Dunlop
(ZMB), S. I. Golovatch (IPEE), J. T. Hannibal
(CLEV), O. Kraus (University of Hamburg), and
W. A. Shear (Hampden-Sydney College, VA) pro-
vided us with a preliminary list of collections
housing significant fossil millipede material,
which is given here. It should be noted that most
of these data have not been proofed by the cited
collections. Fossil diplopod specimens are almost
always housed in the geology or paleontology de-
partments of institutions and not likely to be cu-
rated by the curator for Recent millipede material.

Technical Notes on Millipede Collections

Specimen preservation. — Some historic millipede
collections contain dried, pinned specimens.
Most collections use straight ethanol (70%-
80%). We (FMNH) found reduced alcohol con-
centration (below 65%) in jars containing large-
bodied specimens and increased the concentra-

tion during top-off maintenance. Ethanol is de-
natured in some collections (methyl-ethyl-
ketone, MEK [SMNG, MHNG]; industrial
methylated spirits, IMS [BMNH, CUMZ,
HMUG, IPSM, NMWC]). Isopropanol is used
in several collections (e.g., by FSCA). Mesibov
(QVMAG) reported degradation (whitish patch-
es on integument) of polydesmid specimens in
isopropanol. After changing the collection to
75% to 80% ethanol, no further degradation
was observed. In some collections, glycerin is
added (UVCC, SMNK) to keep the specimens
moist in case the ethanol evaporates. Dr. R. M.
Shelley does not recommend adding glycerin,
because specimens have to be cleaned before
examinations. Preserved millipedes harden con-
siderably; often the animals are rolled up into
a spiral (or ball, in the case of volvating
groups). Preserved in such a position, exami-
nation of the gonopods (in all helminthomorph
groups) and of the mouth parts is very difficult.
For species-level determination, it is necessary
to break the animals apart. Consequently, mil-
lipedes in collections are rarely intact. Posterior
body rings especially are often found loose in
the vials.

Preservation of live-collected specimens. — Hoff-
man (in litt.) explained that the anterior body
sections of millipedes preserve soon after the
animals are placed in alcohol because the al-
cohol enters the body through the mouth open-
ing and around the gonopods. The anterior
muscles harden considerably, while the poste-
rior end of the body is not preserved fast
enough, causing the posterior rings to become
loose and detach from the body. When starting
off with living animals, Hoffman recommends
killing them with ethyl acetate (in a jar con-
taining a soaked paper towel). This causes the
exoskeleton to soften and the segments to
spread apart because of internally generated
C02. After the desired degree of expansion oc-
curs, transfer into 70% alcohol is required. Mil-
lipedes preserved in this way remain straight
and soft and can be handled freely without
damage to legs and antennae. Whether or not
ethyl acetate is used to kill and expand speci-
mens, it is mandatory that the middle and pos-
terior thirds of the body of large specimens be
injected with 80% alcohol, using a fine hypo-
dermic needle, between several segments, to
ensure adequate internal fixation.

Dissection. — Species-level determination usually
requires the examination of gonopods, which

SIERWALD & REFT: MILLIPEDE COLLECTIONS OF THE WORLD

are dissected off the animals. Gonopods were
often mounted permanently on microscope
slides, and slides were stored separately from
the specimens. Several collections listed here
maintain separate microscope slide collections.
Such separate collections require special record
keeping of specimens and slides. More recent-
ly, many collections store dissected gonopods
in genitalia vials with their original specimens.

Specimen storage. — The majority of collections
store specimens in glass vials with cotton plugs
or plastic stoppers. The vials are kept in etha-
nol-filled glass jars, facilitating regular ethanol
top-off maintenance. Some collections store
specimens in screw-cap vials or neoprene-
stopped patent-lip vials. The vials are then
stored in boxes or various racks.

Specimen labels. — Most millipede collections use
handwritten (pencil or India ink) and typed (al-
cohol-proof ribbon) collection labels; laser-
printed labels are rarely used because most col-
lections did not receive recent attention or add-
ed significant amount of material after laser
printers became available. As others have also
reported, we (FMNH) found that laser-printed
labels are not safe for extended time periods
(e.g., letters fall off the label paper). Currently,
we use a Lexmark ink-jet printer with alcohol-
proof ink for label production.

Arrangement of collection. — Most collections are
arranged by order, with families (and genera
within families) in alphabetical order.

Associated collections. — Some collections con-
tain extensive unsorted soil bulk samples (Ber-
lese, pitfall traps). Such sample and residue col-
lections will contain large amounts of myriapod
material (besides other soil arthropods). The
existence of such sample material is listed in

each collection description if we were made
aware of them.

Acknowledgments. Gordon Nishida (Bishop
Museum, Hawaii) provided us with an electronic
copy of the address list used in Arnett et al.
(1993), Insect and Spider Collections of the
World. Dr. Rowland Shelley (North Carolina Mu-
seum of Natural Sciences) furnished us with an
extensive list of North American millipede collec-
tions, most of which he visited personally. Several
colleagues assisted by providing data for specific
countries: Julian Bueno-Villegas for Mexican col-
lections, T Cekalovich for Chilean collections, Dr.
Golovatch for collections in Russia and other for-
mer Soviet republics, and Dr. Jana Tufova (e-mail:
tufova@prfnw.upol.cz) for collections in the
Czech Republic.

Drs. Shelley, Hoffman, Shear, Enghoff, and
Golovatch helped assemble the table of millipede
species authors. We are deeply indebted to all
dedicated curatorial staff, who collaborated with
us generously, made special trips to visit collec-
tions outside their institutions, and safeguard the
world's collections of biodiversity. James Loud-
erman assisted in assembling the tables. Drs. J.
Dunlop, P. Jager, V. Stagl, and S. I. Golovatch
provided helpful comments during the preparation
of the manuscript. We gratefully acknowledge
Drs. J. Dunlop, S. I. Golovatch, and O. Kraus, and
anonymous reviewers for many helpful comments
on previous drafts of the manuscript, which was
ably shepherded through the review process by
Dr. William Burger. This project was supported in
full by a National Science Foundation grant in the
PEET program (DEB 97-12438) to Petra Sierwald
and William A. Shear (Hampden-Sydney, Virgin-
ia) and by the Field Museum of Natural History.

Note: This table lists all authors currently known to us who have described millipede species. The type speci-
mens of the species they described can be found in the museums and collections indicated by their institutions'
abbreviations. This list is certainly not complete. The data were assembled from the responses we received. The
original taxonomic literature was not consulted. In some cases, the listed institutions may not actually house the
type material of the author but rather voucher material. Respondents did not always distinguish between types
and voucher material.

Collection is arranged in order of acquisition, as
there are extensive unsorted holdings. The formed
collection is cataloged in catalog books and com-
puterized (lot- or specimen-based relational data-
base). Improved online access to the database is
forthcoming (see http://www.naturkundemuseum-
karlsruhe.de/spelda-smnkmill.htm). Individual lot
numbers have been assigned. Associated collec-
tions: historical and actively growing reprint and
bulk sample collections, both of which are elec-
tronically cataloged, and actively growing collec-
tions of photographs, prints, and slides. Extensive
holdings from the Neotropics, and Europe; some
material from the Mediterrranean/northern Africa
and eastern Africa. The collection contains Ver-
hoeff voucher material.
