WORLD BIBLIOGRAPHY OF MECOPTERA

This bibliography is being placed on the California Academy of Sciences server as a research reference tool to be used by systematists in studying the biodiversity of this order of insects. An attempt will be made to keep this list current, although this will be done only as time permits. This list is an updated, electronic version of the world list of Mecoptera references published by Schlee and Schlee (1976). The reference numbers under 30,000 with each citation pertain to John Oswald's World Bibliography of Neuropterida [at www.tamu.edu/neuroweb/].  These Mecoptera/Neuroptera references often contain addtional information on date of publication.  Reference numbers over 30,000 are unique to the Mecoptera.  I wish to thank Pierre Tillier for bringing to my attention many of the most recent references.

The present document can be used inconjunction with the World List of Mecoptera Species on this same server.  Any additions or corrections would be greatly appreciated and can be transmitted to npenny@calacademy.org.
