By means of this message I'm asking for systematic entomologists interested
in the study of insects collected at the "Parque Nacional de la Sierra del
Chiribiquete (COLOMBIA); 1.200.000 Ha. of tropical rain forest. Insects were
collected during a combined scientific expedition organized by Colombian and
Spanish Institutions. The hispano-colombian team remained in the P.N. of
Chiribiquete from November, 23 to December, 2 1994.
Specimens are preserved in alcohol 70% and belong to following orders:
Ortopteroids ...........  39
Isoptera ............... 600
Ephemeroptera ..........   2
Neuroptera .............  13
Psocoptera .............   2
Hymenoptera (Aculeata).. 471
Coleoptera ............. 283
Hemiptera ..............  15
Homoptera ..............  15
Diptera ................  undetermined number.

Types of new specimens should be returned to adress indicated below, but
specialists might hold paratypes when typical series would contain more than
five specimens. Likewise, specialists might also hold untill 10% of studied
material when it does not belong to typical series.
