| This
database of dynastine scarab beetles from Panama is a result of an
NSF-funded project to faunistically survey the Dynastinae of Costa
Rica and Panama. This project was formally conducted from 1993-1996
with about 20 years of pre-project activity in Panama. The Panama
information was assembled using BIOTA at the University of Nebraska
State Museum, while the Costa
Rican data was assembled at INBio in Costa Rica. The Panama data
was assembled from various collections in the United States, Canada,
and Panama, and it augments the principal block of information at
the University of Nebraska State Museum. It is "current"
through 1996. The BIOTA database at Nebraska contains all specimen-related
information, but only the principal fields are presented here. |
