We have studied material of most taxa of the group and most of the few ones missing will be analysed soon. However there are two genera for which we do not have any hope of getting material and so I am writing to ask if someone from the type localities of the type species (and only know species) of these genera could help us. These genera are Spiroverma (described by Uchida; type locality in Japan; Eijiroh, please, could you help us? Lena, please, could you help us, now that you are there?) and Colimmatops (is there someone from eastern Africa who could help us?). I know about the problems many museums in the world have with sending material to Brazil (and I must say that now it is safe to send material to Brazil, there is just a little bit of work to do), but I will be in Los Angeles from July to the end of September and so, if you could send some material to Leslie Harris, wewould be very grateful and, for sure, we will acknowledge that in the paper. Thanks a lot for your help.
