| I am recently working on the fauna of the Middle East, especially nocturnal Cardiophorini. A paper about the fauna of Israel with approx. 15 new species and several new records is in work. This paper is planned for summer 2004. If you can provide material from Cyprus or the Middle East, please contact me! |
