Hellwig Hoffmannsegg collection

[christian thompson]

This material is in Berlin, Zool. Mus., Humbolt University.

Those entomologists who have questions like this should try out the
directory of entomologists and their collections  ["Entomologen der Welt"]
provided by Deutsches Entomologische Institute, Eberwalde (online version of
Horn & Kahle, etc.)

at http://www.zalf.de/deid/biograph.phtml

It is in German, but with simple design you should not have any problems.

Dear Taxacomers,

Does anyone know anything about the following collection (it is not in the
Arnett et al.
book):

Hellwig Hoffmannsegg collection in Brunswick

Does it still exist? Which Brunswick is this? Does this collection have an
acronym? a
website (I found none)?

Thanks!
Derek Sikes
