[Nhcoll-l] Long Shelf Lives

[Christopher Kemp]

Hello Friends,

I know I've bothered you all several times before, but I thought I'd ask
for one final round-up. I expect to sign a contract next month with a good
academic publisher for my project. I'll share the details when I do! So,
I'm again seeking examples of species with long shelf lives, hoping I shake
a couple more from the trees this last time. That is: specimens were
collected in the field a long time ago, let's say at least 50 years ago,
but hopefully longer than that, even 100 years ago maybe, before they were
finally described and named. the description must be relatively recent too,
like since 2000, but hopefully even more recent than that. I want worms,
tapeworms, spiders, fish, sea anemones, bats, cats, birds, wasps, frogs,
orchids, lichens, molds, everything, you name it. The stranger the better!

Thanks so much for your help in advance!
