Welcome to the HISL Xyleborini database. This database is under construction but currently contains all of the 1288 valid taxa and 469 synonyms recognized by Wood and Bright (1992). There are more than 19,000 citations, and full references have been entered for 97% of these. Over five thousand locality and host entries are included. This database does contain errors and omissions, so please consider the information in it tentative, and contact us if you find any problems. You can:
• Browse and query the taxonomy database
• Browse and query the literature database
Or use the 'quick search' box to the left, which searches all columns in the taxonomy database for the terms entered.
Future additions will include species pictures, illustrations, phylogenetic & biological data, and frequent taxonomic and bibliographical updates. Please contact Anthony Cognato cognato@msu.edu with comments or questions.
