My work concerns the phylogenetic systematics (taxonomy) of Pyraloidea, or "snout moths," one of the largest radiations of Lepidoptera.  My graduate studies focused on Odontiinae, an unusual subfamily most diverse in the tropics and deserts.  See "Research" on the right for details. For more general information, please see:

• GlobIZ: Globales Informationssystem Zünslerfalter (Global Pyraloid Information System). The online Pyraloidea catalogue (not a checklist). It represents the efforts of the worldwide pyraloid community to reflect currently published nomenclatural acts, citations, deposition of type specimens, etc.
  
• Lepidoptera NSF AToL: this NSF-funded Assembling the Tree of Life project is designed to be a collaborative environment and a source for services such as the Encyclopedia of Life. Odontiine images are updated sporadically: check again later this year for more.
  

More images odontiines and other snouts are to come, but for the meantime, search:

• Diversity of Life
• North American Moth Photographers Group. See Hodges nos. 4703 - 6075.
• Australian Moths Online, CSIRO
• Acentropinae (aquatic moths) of Costa Rica
• Pyraloids of SE Arizona
