Dear, right now I am for a one year stay in Papua New Guinea. I would like to ask you if you know somebody with good knowledge of Papua New Guinean cerambycids. I mean, taxonomical knowledge.
Furthermore, I am looking for publications related to this topic (taxonomy of / keys to Cerambycidae of Papua New Guinea). I have only some rather old publications: 1) Gresitt, 1959: Longicorn beetles from New Guinea 2) Gresitt, 1951: Longicorn Beetles From New Guinea And The South Pacific (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), Part I Prioninae, Disteniinae, Cerambycinae 3) Gresitt, 1951: Longicorn Beetles From New Guinea And The South Pacific (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), Part II Cerambycinae 4) Gresitt, 1952: Longicorn Beetles From New Guinea And The South Pacific (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), Part III Lamiinae 5) Gresitt, 1984: Systematics and biogeography of the longicorn beetle tribe Tmesisternini
I would greatly appreciate any advice.
Pavel

Hi Pavel, you may try to contact Dr. Vitali Francesco, on his web-site; www.cerambycoidea.com. He is a great expert in cerambycidae from Asia and Oceania and I'm sure that him well be very happy to help you. Did you get any Rosenbergia, Batocera or Apriona in PNG? I may help you with these genus. Carlo A.

You might be able to find the monographs on entomological reprint specialists. Of course, I have a few of them myself. Jeff Prill

Another way is to check university libraries for them and photocopy them. If they don't have the papers, get a courtesy card and try to get them through interlibrary loan. My literature library is mostly photocopies acquired over the years. Jeff Prill
