New Literature: "I regret that you do not further include lists of literature in the ICHNEWS. I understand the reasons for not doing it, but these lists were an important source for literature for me - being not employed in a museum or an institute with a large library" (Editor's note: If enough readers have the same opinion we will reintroduce a recent literature section. My feeling is that most readers don't need the service. Please let us know how you fell about this when you return the 1994 questionnaire).

Current projects: Conclusion of the revisions of Western Palaearctic Tersilochinae. Revisions of several genera of Western Palaearctic Campopleginae and Cryptinae-Phygadeuontini. Search for types and type revisions of Western Palaearctic Ichneumonidae.

Museum notes: The types of Ichneumonidae described by Pic and Berthoumiae present in the Paris Museum are now labelled and listed. This done, more than 95% of types of Western Palaearctic ichneumonidae present in the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle Paris are now recognized and labelled, and most of them are placed into separate boxes.
