Research Interests:

I am interested in the systematics and taxonomy of the Trichoptera of southeast Asia, particularly of the island of Borneo. I spent most of 1986 and parts of 1987-1989 living and working in northern Borneo and I collected Trichoptera from approximately 80 localities largely in Sabah, but also in Sarawak and Brunei. These collections resulted in the accumulation of some 34,000 specimens and represented the first intensive inventory of the Trichoptera of Borneo. Not unexpectedly, the material contained mostly undescribed species. Taxonomic work based on this material has been completed on Apsilochorema (of Hydrobiosidae), Gunungiella (of Philopotamidae), Limnocentropus (of Limnocentropodidae), Dinarthrum and Lepidostoma (of Lepidostomatidae), and 8 genera of Hydroptilidae (Chrysotrichia, Scelotrichia, Stactobia, Orthotrichia, Ugandatrichia, Hydroptila, Oxyethira, Hellyethira). I plan to continue this research and hope to establish contacts with others interested in the caddisfly fauna of Borneo,
