As Curatorial Assistant, I take care of the following collections: Arachnida (primarily Araneae; also Amblypygi, Opiliones, Palpigradi, Pseudoscorpiones, Ricinulei, Schizomida, Scorpionida, Solifugae and Uropygi), Myriapoda, and Onychophora. Current curatorial projects include adding our currently-uncatalogued spider paratypes to the collection database, updating our salticid collection utilizing Proszynski's taxonomic catalog, and working up a large collection of Nicaraguan spiders collected by Dr. Jean-Michel Maes. For donations, specimen identification, information or loan requests, please contact me at the address above.
