Re: December Newsletter

That is a very impressive estimate. We have similar situations in my Crustacea. It is estimated that 70% of the copepods from temporary wetlands in North America, west of the Continental Divide are undescribed. A buddy of mine worked on wood boring beetles in the family Cerambycidae. He got to the point where he was finding so many new species from the Neotropics, that all he was doing was getting them arranged and in order so that who ever came after him could get them described. He had more than 1,000 new species by the time he passed.

Truly, we are still in the age of discovery.

Hi Christopher,

We estimate that for Borneo about 60% of the terrestrial and rheophytic aroids remain undescribed.

Good morning!

Just back from a long weekend, and read the newsletter. It is really impressive. It amazes me, Peter. It seems like every time you go out side you find new species. Thank you for sharing this glimpse into our world's biodiversity.

I am *mildly* surprised that has been no feedback - positive or negative - on the December Newsletter. At 31 pages it is longer than many of the early issues of Aroideana.
