Mecoptera of North America

Merope tuber

New to the web this week is an excellent resource on the Mecoptera of North America.  Dr. Norm Penny has put together an illustrated guide to all the North American species with habitus and genitalia images.  While not very diverse, the Mecoptera prove to be an enigmatic and fascinating group.  Take a moment to explore the site and identify your specimens!

  • The internet is a pure, clean place. You shouldn’t put pictures of genitalia on the internet.

    Hello. My students and I are looking for the “Mecoptera of North America,” but links found here and elsewhere seem broken. Can anyone direct me to it, please? Thanks. J. Engman, Henderson State University Biology Department, Arkadelphia, AR

    • Heard from Norm Penny and he is aware the site is down. The CAS moved to a new web design and he has intentions to re-format the site, but might not get to it for a little while.

    Hopefully CAS will not neglect the scientific needs that the institution is meant for.
