Scientific discoveries
New species
A permanent catalogue of species described using material collected, documented or studied through the EntomoDR expeditions.
Project outcomes
From field collecting to formal species descriptions
New species are among the most important scientific outcomes of the project. This page presents them in an accessible format while retaining links to the peer-reviewed publications in which they were formally described.
Each profile is designed to contain a representative photograph, taxonomic placement, publication year, type locality, a short discovery note and a link to the original paper. Additional species will be added as names, images and final publication details are prepared.
