(?Smaller) Moths in French Guiana
Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2023 8:58 am
Hi everyone,
I'm interested in planning a collecting trip to French Guiana, particularly looking at moths. I'm especially interested in filling in knowledge gaps about the smaller (and perhaps under-recorded) Lep groups in the area...
I'd appreciate any advice on a couple of points:
1) Suggestions of potential contacts or experts with knowledge of the moths of the region, particularly the smaller ('micro') families
2) Literature refences, particularly reviews/taxonomic works on the microleps in the region
3) Suggestions of key families that are under-recorded or under-studied in the region
4) Good sites/lodges to collect at!
Thanks!
