I am a dentist, like my father and my grandfather, but since I was a kid I am entomologist.
I am specialized in the taxonomy, phylogeny and evolution of the Coleoptera Carabidae (ground beetles) of subtribe Bembidiina of the world.
I have fun by discovering new life forms unknown for the science, but later I get tired when I have to publish their descriptions... :-)
By the way, until now I have described 1 new genus, 8 new subgenera, 197 new species and subspecies from Comoro Islands, China, Turkey, Iran, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, S Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Swaziland, Angola, Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Mali, Chad, Afghanistan...
Why I am uploading images of common species in iNat?
Because I hope that these images could make happy the amateur entomologists helping them to recognize the common species in their collections without sending them to the busy specialists...
