In connection with description of a new species, recently received from Irian Jaya, my intention is to undertake a review of the genus Calodema. For that reason I need all information available. I would very much appreciate your co-operation with information regarding the following:

1. The collecting locality of every specimen in every collection.
2. The collecting date.
3. All additive information available concerning the circumstances at the capture of the specimen.
4. All photos concerning living specimens and theire natural habitat.

Of great interest is to gain information concerning the geographic distribution of all species; especially all observations of Calodema wallacei in Australia and Calodema ribbei ssp ribbei in Indonesia (Irian Jaya).

To gain information concerning all species´ recent status it would be of great value to get the geographical distribution over time. For that reason I very much appreciate all collecting data of all available specimens.

Please note that in the planned publication the collecting places will be indicated on maps only down to territories, provinces and islands. The information sources will not be published without permittance.

Many thanks to Dr. Chuck Bellamy who has given me this opportunity for communication.

My sincere thanks in advance.
