Welcome to Database ELKUType Based on the Type Specimen Collection Preserved in the Entomological Laboratory, Kyushu University!

Japanese page is here

A database file ELKUType covers information of type specimens based on the collection preserved in the Entomological Laboratory, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan. The types are specimens used in the original description for constructing a new taxon such as a new species. One of them is called the holotype as the representative individual of the new species and the other specimens designated are called paratype(s). The ELKUType is a database based on the holotypes. Each record is composed of 19 items, such as registration number, scientific name, Japanese name, order, family, author, year, source of the original description, type designation, type locality, country, preservation form, existence of paratypes, image, etc.

The ELKUType is managed by a text database management system SIGMA.

The ELKUType file is supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Publication of Scientific Research Results (Head Investigator: Osamu Tadauchi) and a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research(B)(2) (Head Investigator: Osamu Tadauchi) from Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.

The use of data in this database is free of charge if the objective is academic study or educational purposes.
