request for evaniid wasps

[Andy Deans]

Hello everyone,

I am a PhD student at the University of Illinois in entomology.  My
dissertation revolves around revising the Evaniidae at the generic level
and constructing a phylogeny for the genera (as well as trying to find
where the family fits among the rest of the Hymenoptera).

I was hoping that some of you on this list might be able to send me
evaniids you don't need.  I am particularly interested in specimens from
Africa, Australia, Hawaii (including other South Pacific islands), and the
Middle East (Israel et al.) - ESPECIALLY if they are in ethanol.

I am willing to sort material and return it to you eventually or trade for
specimens of other taxa collected in other places around the world.

Thanks for your help,

Andy Deans
