George and Alice
Beatty took seven trips to study the
|
|
|
Odonata of Mexico
between 1956 and 1971.
|
|
| • |
They collected
>30,000 specimens.
|
|
| • |
They discovered
~20 undescribed species of which they
|
|
|
described none.
|
|
| • |
They reared many
undescribed larvae.
|
|
| • |
They published
very little on Mexican Odonata.
|
|
| • |
In the late
1970’s their entire collection was donated to
|
|
|
the Frost
Entomological Museum at Penn State
|
|
|
University.
|
|
| • |
George Beatty
retained his field notebooks, which
|
|
|
effectively
prevented work by others on the collection for
|
|
30 years.
