Welcome to Entomology Reference Database KONCHUR!

Species Information Database on Japanese, East Asian and Pacific Insects, Spiders and Mites

Japanese page is here

An entomology reference database, KONCHUR, is an insect species (including spiders and mites) information database based on the main Japanese entomological and zoological journals (24 journals (= files) at present) and treats a taxon (e.g., scientific or Japanese name of one species, one genus, or one family) as one record. This database includes many East Asian and Pacific as well as Japanese insects. Each record consists of 13 items as follows: taxon name (scientific name), taxon name (Japanese name), author, title of the paper, journal, volume, page, year, order, family, synonymy, distribution, keywords (taxonomy, morphology, ecology, biology, etc.) and note. The record includes many useful kinds of information such as type locality, type depository, host records, etc.

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

KONCHUR is supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Publication of Scientific Research Result (Head Investigator: 2017: Toshiya Hirowatari; 2016: Munetoshi Maruyama; 1990-2015: Osamu Tadauchi) and a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B) (Head Investigator: Osamu Tadauchi) from the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture, Japan.

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