This database contains biographical data on 30.000 entomologists of the world, references about these entomologists, and notes on the current locations of their entomological collections. All data are presented in German. Much importance is attached to the spelling of the personal names. [Information of the supplier]
The Pherobase is a database of insect pheromones and semiochemicals that provides a guide to the literature published on chemical signals involved in insects chemical communication. Unlike other database, The Pherobase is not biased towards any insect order or any type of semiochemicals; it simply covers most insect orders and all types of semiochemicals. So here you will find sex pheromones, as well as all other categories of semiochemicals. Recently we started to added other organisms than insects. ... [Information of the supplier]
The entomological collections are of great historical importance and represent one of the best entomological resources in the United Kingdom. They began with the bequest by the Reverend Frederick W. Hope of his entire collection in 1849. The Hope Professors, Westwood, Poulton, Hale Carpenter and Varley also amassed large amounts of material, both through their own research, and from donations by other contemporary entomologists. ...

The Department of Entomology (California Academy of Sciences) houses over 18,300 primary type specimens of insects, arachnids, and myriapods. All types have been cataloged and databased. Images of specimens and labels are available for some groups, including the families Carabidae (Coleoptera), Formicidae (Hymenoptera), Therevidae (Diptera) and Acroceridae (Diptera). In addition to CAS holdings, the Academy also serves as a depository of primary types for 13 other institutions in the western United States. We receive these specimens on permanent or indefinite loan, depending on the institution and its regulations. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
This species-level database includes data on 6,297,638 specimens representing 147,693 taxa. It does not include information on groups of arthropods normally kept in alcohol with the exception of the Trichoptera (caddis-flies) and Embiidina (web-spinners). It also does not include information on specimens out on loan (more than 700,000 specimens), and the approximately 3 million specimens gathered as part of the Madagascar Arthropod Biodiversity Project. This database includes a considerable amount of geographical information. The number of specimens was recorded for all species and subspecies for each country. Additionally, the number of specimens was recorded for each state of North America (Canada, U.S.A., and Mexico) and each island group of Indonesia and the Galapagos Archipelago. Finally, the number of specimens was recorded for each county of California. For China, provinces were divided between Palearctic and Oriental Regions. For Indonesia, islands were divided between Oriental and Australian Regions. For Mexico, states were divided between Nearctic and Neotropical Regions. Florida was considered entirely Nearctic, and Japan was considered to be entirely Palearctic. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
Now exclusively online in a database format, this resource is an essential reference for anyone who works with insects. It includes more than 2,000 common names and is searchable by common name, scientific name, author, order, family, genus, and species. Interested individuals may propose new common names by submitting the Common Names Proposal Form that is reviewed by the Committee on the Common Names of Insects and voted on by the ESA Governing Board. Detailed information on the submission and approval process is present (Proposal Form for new Common Name or Change of ESA-Approved Common Name). ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
This database is a completely revised new edition of the "Index Litteraturae Entomologicae : Serie I : Die Welt-Literatur über die gesamte Entomologie bis inclusive 1863" published by Walther Horn und Sigmund Schenkling in 1928-1928. The most important new features are: (a) the original 25,229 citations (Horn & Schenkling 1928) have been increased to over 46,500; the extra data result from resolution of highly condensed original entries or are new; (b) over 11,300 authors, artists, engravers, etc. have been recorded separately, thus supporting searches with various spellings of the name and connecting the bibliography with the biographies; (c) over 10,300 journals, publishers etc., (called ‘sources’) have been recorded separately, thus supporting searches with various spellings of the title; dating information is included and titles are given in full; (d) parts of works, other editions, addenda, translations, etc. were cross-referenced; (e) Publication dates of the works have been revised based on secondary sources (see references); (f) the citations can be exported in text format or BibTex format; (g) users can comment on each citation and contribute to improving the database. ...

Described as "gem-like inhabitants of the woodlands by most never seen nor dreamt of", chalcidoids include some of the most beautiful insects on the planet, but are amongst some of the most poorly known. They exhibit amazingly diverse life histories and profoundly influence all types of ecosytems, from rainforests to agriculture. Many species are natural enemies of insect pests and are used instead of pesticides to control them. As many as half a million species may exist, but only about 22,000 are documented, largely because chalcidoids are small to minute in size.The group includes the world's smallest adult insect, the degenerate male of Dicopomorpha echmepterygis, which is only a staggering 0.13mm long. This database is also available on CD. This allows for faster more flexible searches and includes some facilities not available on this site. ... [Information of the supplier]
The purpose of this site is to provide electronic access to the collections in the University's E.H. Strickland Entomological Museum, one of the most significant insect collections in Canada. The collection contains approximately one million specimens and is made up of two sub-collections, the Research Collection and the Alberta Reference Collection. The Research Collection includes principally Nearctic insects, representing most orders and their major families. The beetle family (Carabidae) is especially well represented: it includes about 400,000 specimens principally from the Nearctic region, but with an important Neotropical component. The Reference Collection contains a few (one or two) representative specimens of most of the species of butterflies, moths, beetles and caddisflies known from Alberta. This website is a searchable database. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
