Many entomologists have collected specimens for this project, particularly D.H. Colless and B.J. Day. Names of all collectors are given in the Introduction. The electron microscopy was performed by S.M. Lindsay, and the microphotography by M. Bulbert. The manuscript was processed by H.M. Smith. Some of the illustrations were drawn by K.C. Khoo, S.P. Kim, and H.M. Smith. Helpful advice on the manuscript was provided by D.J. Bickel, S.F. McEvey, and H.M. Smith.
