moth dets ecuador

[Jason R. Grant]

We would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming response to the
question on the identification of Ecuadorian moths.  Well over a dozen
specialists from all over the world responded with identifications,
suggestions of specialists, museum collections to verify determinations,
manuals for identification, etc.  We very much appreciate the response!

We are currently updating and uploading more photos on to the website
http://www.ekuador.ch/macrocarpaea/, and will add the identifications
received.  We hope to be able to verify these identifications based on
photos with our specimens in museum collections.  We would also be willing
to send material to specialists for proper identification if some species is
of particular interest.

Identifications received as of 9/9/02 based on the 9 photos then on the site
include:
