Petr Kment National Museum, Prague, Czech Republic      I am currently a curator of the Hemiptera collection in the Department of Entomology, National Museum in Prague, and a postgraduate student in the Department of Zoology, Charles University in Prague. I am broadly interested in the faunistics of the Heteroptera of the Western and Central Palaearctic region, and the taxonomy, morphology, and zoogeography of the Tessaratomidae, Pentatomidae and Acanthosomatidae in the world-wide scale.
