@dave, that would be ideal but i think, for now, it’s a touchy issue especially that some of the holotypes that came from me are at an author’s collection.

The holotype should eventually be repatriated. My newly-described ant species are going to be deposited at UPLB-MNH c/o Dr. Jun Lit. I also have many (40+) potential holotypes at the MCZ, Harvard. All those specimens will eventually be repatriated after scientific description. You might consider depositing a paratype at the MCZ as well. cheers, Dave That is not the reason for keeping the holotype out of the Philippines. The holotype should eventually be repatriated.

I agree - if there is no secure depository in Philippines the holotypes should go somewhere else. I hope you have given thought to where your collection will go when you, ahem... leave this world. regards--ted Great news, congrats Estan!

Are the holotypes going to be repatriated? Perhaps to be deposited in the University of San Carlos collection? And you should be able to designate depositories of the paratypes, including large and accessible museums like the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard and your personal collection. Keep up the good work. Congrats!
