Abstract

ABSTRACT: Sabroksy's Cellosolve-xylene method was used to restore insects stored in ethyl alcohol so they could be dry mounted. Large- to medium-sized insects from five orders (Megaloptera, Neuroptera, Trichoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera) (some of which had been stored in ethyl alcohol for 50 years) were processed using this method. Most processed specimens were found to be of high to acceptable quality once they were pinned and dried and were similar to freshly pinned specimens. The Sabrovsky method is a relatively simple and cost effective alternative to other methods commonly used for restoring insects preserved in alcohol.

Sabrosky纤维溶剂-二甲苯法干装酒精中某些成虫的评价

摘要：采用Sabroksy的Cellosolve-二甲苯法对储存在乙醇中的昆虫进行了修复，使其能够干式安装。采用该方法处理了来自五个目（夜蛾目、神经翅目、毛翅目、膜翅目、直翅目）的大中型昆虫（其中一些昆虫已在乙醇中储存了50年）。大多数加工过的试样在钉扎和干燥后都具有高质量，与新钉扎的试样相似。Sabrovsky方法是一种相对简单且成本效益高的替代方法，可用于恢复保存在酒精中的昆虫。

期刊介绍： Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
