Original photographs of the type specimens in The Natural History
Museum, London (BMNH) were taken by John
S. Dugdale Email 
1980-1981. Photographs of type specimens in New
Zealand institutes were taken by Mavis Lessiter mainly in 1982-83.
These were scanned onto Kodak PhotoCD by Trevor
K. Crosby Email

The scripting was written by Dominic J. Thoreau.

Plans are being made to convert this sub-site (the options under this page) to static documents, and have them pressed, along with the original database, onto CD-ROM. We would appreciate any feedback on this idea, or on any other improvements for this site.
