I did not, but suggested he could see them all in the index at the end of my checklist. He cut and pasted them into a spreadsheet and came up with the number. I thought it might be interesting to see how many species (including subspecies) there were, so I did the same for the entire checklist. After a few days of deleting lines, I came up with the following: Oxypeltidae 3 Vesperidae 27 Disteniidae 189 Cerambycidae Parandrinae 48 Prioninae 381 Lepturinae 393 Spondylidinae 44 Necydalinae 70 Cerambycinae 4,898 Lamiinae 5,233 Species 11,286 Genera 1,962 Larry B [/quote]    Insert an Image File Check here to include your profile signature.
