from a PDF copy (thanks to Mike Ferro at Clemson) and this is an open call for collaboration to update the species list. I will email/message a link to anyone interested in helping.

Sure, I can help. I'm not sure if Harmonia axyridis was present in New Mexico in 2000, but it certainly is now.

Not sure if I can help since I predominantly do Eastern US IDs, but I could take a gander

COLEOPTERA includes coccinellidae, right? That's the group I know best.

Posted by that_bug_guy 18 days ago

Yes, I put Coccinellidae on Sheet 2 for now while I'm transcribing other families on Sheet 1. Try the link in your messages again :-)

I'll see what I can do, though I can only help with a few darkling beetle genera.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention @egordon88! I can provide a list of the Lampyridae found in New Mexico.

Great! And one more question: should we include subspecies?

Posted by that_bug_guy 18 days ago

Generally no, but in the notes to the side is fine.

I can only help with Dermestidae, but I'll be happy to provide whatever I know

Happy to help with Cantharidae!

I could help with the family Dermestidae, but so far I unfortunately don't have a copy (PDF) of that paper.
