Graduate student John Oswald proposes a systematic and                     biogeographic study of a diverse family of lacewing Neuroptera,                 the Hemerobiidae.  The project will entail comparative study of                 new collections and museum holdings at the British Museum and                   Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology.  The research will                     result in a clearer understanding of the classification of the 49               genera in the family, and their evolutionary relationships among                themselves and with other members of the Order Neuroptera.                           The project has important implications beyond the                          specialized area of lacewing systematics.  The group may have                   utility as a natural pest control agent.  The biogeographic                     component of the project will test the most recent method for                   reconstructing historical patterns of distribution.  The                        resulting evolutionary classification and biogeographic synthesis               will be of interest to other entomologists and biogeographers in                general.
