Entomology: insect types (illustrated)

"This online database contains records for primary types in the entomology collections of the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ) [at Harvard]. The MCZ insect type collection, one of the largest in North America, currently preserves the primary types of more than 28,000 species, representing 29 orders, 565 families, and 7,578 genera. In addition to such information as type label data, type stage and status, current species name (if available), the database includes high resolution images of the type specimens." -- from the website. <http://mcz-28168.oeb.harvard.edu/mcz/index.htm>.
