Enio Cano from the University del Valle de Guatemala visits the Entomology Collection
From 30 November to 4 December, Enio Cano from Guatemala visited DMNS. He is
curator of the arthropod collection of the Universidad del Valle
de Guatemala and an expert of bess beetles (Passalidae) and
Rutelinae. We invited him with a stipend from the Lloyd David and
Carlye Cannon Wattis Foundation to work in the collection and to
present his biogeographic research on Nuclear Central America at
the Wattis Symposium on 3 December. Enio brought a
reference collection of almost 200 Guatemalan Passalidae and
Scarabaeidae as a gift which enhances significantly our sparse
holdings of the Central American scarab fauna.
