Dear Andrew,

Dr. José Leal <[log in to unmask]>, who may still be on this list-serve, is
very interested in, and an expert on, this fauna.  He is a busy museum
scientist and may not always have time for the type of work you request.  On
the other hand, most curators are quite appreciative of unique material to add
to the collections over which they maintain stewardship.  It is always a good
practice to offer duplicate material in exchange for services such as those you
mention below.

Harry
