<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>All,<br><br></div>A colleague of mine recently visited and collected centipede (and some millipede) specimens on Forrester Island, Alaska. These have been donated to the University of Alaska Museum Insect Collection.<br><br></div>Forrester Island is the type locality of the following three centipede species:<br><br><i>Zygethopolys nothus</i> Chamberlin 1925 <br><br><i>Oabius uleorus</i> Chamberlin 1916 <br><br><i>Paobius boreus</i> Chamberlin 1916 <br><br></div>all in the family Lithobiidae. As far as I can tell these three species have not been collected elsewhere making them of some interest as potentially highly restricted endemics (or perhaps junior synonyms awaiting synonymy....)<br><br></div>I'd like to loan this small collection out to someone who could identify these specimens and possibly make use of them taxonomically.<br><br>I hope to obtain DNA barcodes from these specimens so will remove a few legs before loaning them out.<br><br></div>If you, or someone you know, would be interested in receiving this loan please contact me.<br><br></div>Thanks,<br></div>Derek<br><div><div><div><br><br><div><div><div><div><div><br clear="all"><div><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font size="1"><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br>Derek S.
