[NHCOLL-L:1066] Scarabaeoid material request, for DNA work

[Doug Yanega]

Hi. I've been asked by Dave Hawks (david.hawks at ucr.edu) and Chris Marshall
(cm13 at cornell.edu) to post a request for material desperately needed for
DNA sequencing; they are looking for specimens of Nicagus, Lethrus, Acoma,
or Benedictia in ethanol or fresh frozen (last resort: *recently* collected
pinned ones). They are also seeking larvae of Nicagus, or live adults.
Please do not reply to me, but direct responses to them at

david.hawks at ucr.edu
and
cm13 at cornell.edu

Thanks in advance,
