Kurt R. Arnold
My interests are taxonomy, phylogeny and biogeography of Neotropical Pentatomoidea, Miridae, Dipsocoridae and Reduviidae, and more specifically, the biodiversity of terrestrial Hemiptera from Peru (1. "Panguana", Rio Pachitea, a biological station of the Zoologische Staatssammlung Munich, Germany; and 2. Manu National Park) and Costa Rica (1. National Park Santa Rosa in the NW part of CR; and 2. Mount Chirripo in NE of San Isidro de General). I also work on the faun of Oriental Pentatomoidea (Vietnam and Indonesia [Sumatra, Sulawesi, Ceram]).
