Study Group Hyperini

Aim of the working group is the updating of the knowledge of palearctic Hyperini. The last large revision of this group was done by Petri (1901). At present however the lack of specimens of rarer species makes clarifying taxonomic problems more difficult.

Therefore systematics of the entire subfamily Hyperini needs a fundamental revision.

Biological data (hostplant- and habitat-relationship) are to be more strongly considered and investigated.

At present a catalog of types and a check list of the Hyperini are created. All colleagues are asked therefore for assistance.

Long-term target is the creation of an analytic catalog for the palearctic Hyperini in the context of the publications of the CURCULIO-Institute (SNUDEBILLER).
