Hemiptera checklists

[Entomology: Namibian Museum]

Taxacomers

I require a global checklist on Hemiptera genera and species for a database
project (Heteroptera, Homoptera, Hydrocorisae, Geocorisae). It is not a
commercial venture, and I have no funding for datatyping from published
catalogues. The purpose of the project is simply to have checklists for
rapidly recording the presence/absence of genera/species in major
collections.

I am not aware of many such checklists available as ftp or other files.
However, I am not a Hemipteran specialist and therefore may not have the
newest information. I am willing to collate information sent by specialists,
and to make the collated information available through the internet with due
acknowledgement to all contributors.

I shall appreciate any advice on specialists or sites to contact, or any
lists sent to me. I can handle MIME encoded attached files sent as simple
text, or Excel, Access or Word files in Office 97 format. I can also deal
with most older spreadsheet or wordprocessing files in other formats.

Please send any advise or lists directly to insects at natmus.cul.na

Thank you in advance
