Perhaps the web is the wave of the future.  It allows revision and comment for
all to see.
I am amazed at the organisms I can find illustrations of on the web----just by
going through google.

Unfortunately you have to know the name of the group to use this pathway.
The trick will be to key in a description (not a Description) of an unknown or
scan in an unknown and let the web key it out for you.
This has been accomplished for medical diagnosis, and I suppose its only a
matter of time before the economic entomologists figture out a way to do it for
insects.
