Aphididae
(slide collection)
The museum houses
32,780 slides representing about 150,000 specimens of Aphididae
in the John O. Pepper Aphid Collection. The collection consists
of high quality microscope slides containing phylogenetic, biogeographic,
ecological, and biological information. The collection is one of
the largest in North America with 178 genera and 1029 species (about
75% of the North America fauna north of Mexico).
The collection
includes 195 paratypes, 41 topotypes, and one holotype. Nine holotypes
generated from research on this collection are housed at the Systematics
Entomology Laboratory Collection in Beltsville, MD.
The Museum is
currently working to obtain funding support for a computerized database
for the Pepper collection as the first step in developing a searchable
web database for the entire Frost Museum collection.
