Supplement to the Carvalho Catalogue of the Miridae of the World (Insecta: Heteroptera)

已经出版34年的《世界昆虫科目录》是研究植物昆虫的学生的基本参考资料。它在一个地方汇集了关于这组真正的错误的大约10,000个成员的分类和分布的所有信息。由于它的年代久远，它不能反映过去三十年来文献中出现的类群分类的许多变化，也不能反映所描述的许多新物种的信息。因此，编写补品是使这一宝贵资源更新的最有效方法。在过去的15年里，首席研究员积累了编写增刊所必需的书目资源，并为其完成奠定了许多基础工作。最后一卷将允许查阅有关该群体分类的所有文献，按捕食者和寄主分列的寄主名单，而且——已经用计算机数据库准备好了——可以定期更新，也可以查询，以便回答比印刷版本的目录可能回答的更复杂的问题。本项目提供经费用于编写该补充资料，该补充资料将对系统学家、生态学家、农业学家和虫害防治专家有用。

The Catalogue of the Miridae of the World, now 34 years old, is the basic reference for students of the plant bugs. It brings together in one place all of the information on the classification and distribution of the 10,000 or so members of this group of true bugs. Because of its age, it does not reflect the many changes in the classification of the group presented in the literature in the last three decades, nor information on the many new species described. Thus, the preparation of a supplement is the most efficient way to bring this invaluable resource up to date. Over the past 15 years the principal investigator has amassed the bibliographic resources necessary for preparation of the supplement, and has laid much of the ground work toward its completion. The final volume will allow access to all literature on the classification of the group, present lists of hosts by predator and host, and--having been prepared using a computer database--can be updated on a periodic basis as well as queried in order to answer more complex questions than would be possible with the printed version of the catalog. This project provides funding for preparation of the supplement, which will be useful to systematists, ecologists, agriculturists and insect pest-control specialists.
