George E. Bohart (Biology Dept.; Utah State University; Logan, UT 84322-5305; USA)
writes that "Utah State University has very large numbers of ichneumonoids begging for
studies to be made on them . The collection is particularly rich in intermountain and Neotropical material
but has a scattering from all parts of the U.S. and from all continents (none from Antarctica!) . . . I recall
particularly the rich ichneumonid fauna of Monte Verde, Costa Rica but we have lots of other specimens
from Costa Rica as well as many other Latin American countries." Of particular interest to ICHNEWS
readers is the fact that Dr. Bohart's son-in-law, Brad Nelson, has a beautiful set of slides of
Megarhyssa ictersticta in all stages of oviposition.
