[Nhcoll-l] Species with long shelf lives -- Another call!

[Christopher Kemp]

Hi great friends! A few months ago, I requested input from you in putting
together a list of recently described species (let's say in the last 10
years) for which the holotypes, or paratypes, or at least some specimen or
other, had been collected decades earlier and then sat in a biorepository
for a long time, awaiting description. I know they're out there. Mysterious
lost species. Some wait for a century before they finally get a name. I've
just submitted a book proposal for a project on these lost species so I
need as many contenders as possible: mammal, snake, plant, mineral, bird,
insect, amphibian, everything. Last time I made the request, I was
astonished and excited by the response. I have a great list, but I
definitely need more. Please feel free to come up with more! Doesn't matter
if I get replicates or examples I got previously. Let her rip! Great,
thanks in advance. Best -- ck
