I am adding larval and adult host records to the electronic world catalogue and I need help from the community. After having added all of the data presented in Nelson, et al. (2008), I have received a list of larval host records for the Japanese Buprestidae by S. Ohmomo and Ted MacRae has sent me his file which includes host records missed earlier by Nelson as well as for species from Mexico and elsewhere in the Neotropical region.
When I compiled the volume of Australian Buprestidae (Bellamy 2002), I attempted to include as much host data as I could find in the literature.
I would be particularly interested to received host data on the Palaearctic Buprestidae from those living in that part of the world. The large work on Buprestides des France by Schaeffer (1950) has many hosts and is often cited in more recent works, e.g. Curletti (1994), Mühle, et al. (2000), Niehuis (2004), etc.
So I am very interested to hear from and potentially collaborate with anyone who can contribute biological or host plant data on Buprestidae from anywhere in the world.
Thanks in advance.
