I´m working in a research project focusing on Ecology and Biodiversity of Venezuelan caves fauna. We are collected a lot of invertebrates but the information of tropical cavse invertebrates is too scarce. It´s impossible to me to deal with the classification of all the invertebrates collected, indeed, i have classificated most of them upto orders, families and morphospecies.
I have contacted some specialist in terrestrial isopods, spiders, Opiliones, Abmblypigida,Ants, etc., but i need help with many other groups.
I need help with the following gruups:

Diptera: Anisopodidae, Ceratopogonidae, Chironomidae, Sciaridae, Chloropidae, Drosophilidae, Dixidae, Sciaridae, Tipulidae, Startiomyiidae, Asteiidae, Psilidae, Phoridae, Psychodidae, Streblidae and Dolichopodidae.

Coleoptera: Biphyllidae, Carabidae, Coccinelidae, Cryptophagydae, Curculionidae, Dryopidae, Elateridae, Endomychidae, Histeridae, Hybosoridae, Latridiidae, Leiodidae, Limnichidae, Nitidulidae, Ptilliidae, Ptilodactylidae, Scydmaenidae and Staphylinidae

Diplura: Campodeidae

Thysanura: Nicoletidae

Thysanoptera: Thripidae and Phlaeothripidae.

Demaptera

Psocoptera

Embioptera

Collembola: Poduroidea and Entomobryoidea (Isotomidae, Tomoceridae, Entomobrydae).

Acari

Diplopoda

Chilopoda

Blattodea: Blattelidae, Blaberidae, Blattidae and Polyphagidae

Lepidoptera: Moth larva

Orthoptera: Gryllidae (Gryllinae and Phalangopsinae)


If any of you know specialists, keys of any information please let me now. I coul take pictures, send samples and we can work together. Meanwhile I will keep working for myself.

Best Regards,

Estimado Miguel,

Bien a ver que en Venezuela se investiga moscas de largas patas tambien. Me interesa mucho. Ademas, estoy estudiando esta familia desde hace 1994 y he participado a algunas expediciones en Costa Rica (ALAS) y Ecuador y he collaborado a la inventorio de varios sitios en Colombia.

Hay una posibilidad enviarme sus muestras para investigar? My direccion es:

Muchas gracias de antemano.
Atentamente,
