My work concerns the phylogenetic systematics (taxonomy) of Pyraloidea, or "snout moths," one of the largest radiations of Lepidoptera.  My graduate studies focus 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, which is quite a bit more than a checklist of names. It represents the efforts of the worldwide pyraloid community to put thorough, verified information first.
  • Lepidoptera NSF AToL: the National Science Foundation Assembling the Tree of Life project for moths & butterflies. Odontiine images are updated sporadically: check again later this year for more.
