Zoological Museum Amsterdam, University of Amsterdam (NL) - Diptera_Tipulidae_Palearctic

The western Palaearctic collection of Tipulidae (craneflies) in ZMAN is one of the most important collections in its kind, containing types of many species and voucher specimens from a wide range of collection sites especially from the Mediterranean area. Together with the Tipulidae collections in Bonn (Germany) and Kiev (Ukraine), the ZMAN collection is indispensible for work on the systematics, biogeography and biodiversity of this family. Material from this collection has been and will be fundamental for biodiversity studies in the Mediterranean area.
