Palaearctic tortricids

[James J. Kruse]

Hello,

Is there anyone in Europe or Asia who can send me a couple specimens of
less than ten year old Archips (Tortricinae/Archipini) specimens? I am
interested in a few common species to use as outgroups in my study of
Archips phylogeny. I am particularly interested in A. xylosteanus or A.
crataeganus, and A. oporanus, A. decretanus, or A. podanus. Of course any
Archips species from the Palaearctic region would be acceptable. There are
_several_ species in southeast Asia that would be very interesting
outgroups!

Specimens may be killed by a variety of methods and stored pinned,
enveloped, placed alive into alcohol, or frozen, but never relaxed for
mounting. Full recognition in my paper is assured as well as reimbursement
for mailing expenses if requested.

Please reply! Thank you!
