The Insect Division of the Field Museum of Natural History                 houses an internationally renowned collection of over nine                      million insects and related arthropods.  The collection                         continues to grow rapidly and is used heavily for research (over                20,000 specimens loaned annually to over 100 scientists                         worldwide).                                                                          This project will provide funds for: 1) recuration and                     generation of a computer database of especially important and                   comprehensive units of the collection, especially the beetle                    families Staphyhlinidae and Histeridae; 2) preparation and                      labeling of specimens from backlogged and incoming collections;                 3) labeling and curation of an exceptional collection of                        ectoparasites, particularly the batfly families Streblidae and                  Nycteribiidae; and 4) supporting visiting scientists to upgrade                 identifications and curation of specific areas in the collection,               with special attention to recuration and labeling of the                        Strecker Collection of moths.  Over the five-year life of the                   award, the Museum expects that nearly one million specimens will                become newly or more easily available to the scientific community               because of the activities supported by this project.
