David Robinson (in the office next door to mine) tells me that the United States Department of Agriculture occasionally intercepts Xeropicta krynickiii, and that he can provide some specimens for dissection. You can contact him at David.G.Robinson at aphis.usda.gov.

Dear Gary,

thank you very much for your kind message. Will immediately send dr Robinson an email.

Best regards.

Eike Neubert NMBE (Bern, CH) may have material at the NH museum as well. He has collected numerous times in Turkey. and likely has this species I collected in Crete and gave him samples. However, I am not sure if Xeropicta krynickii was in the lot. You can contact him at: http://www.nmbe.ch/index.html

Best regards, A.

Thank you Adrienne, I already got the specimens I was looking for and the paper is already published. Thanks again.
