Immortality can be yours …
You can name this new wasp species! Your donation directly supports species discovery and student education in Entomology through scholarships. By naming this species you are promoting science education, species discovery and conservation. This species is newly discovered by Dr. Steven L. Heydon, Bohart Museum Scientist.
This wasp belongs to the genus, Lanthanomyia, which is endemic to Southern Chile (occurring nowhere else in the world). It attacks weevils that feed on southern beech (Nothofagus). Think of it as a natural pest control agent.
To name this species simply submit your proposed name, which follows the genus name (i.e. Homo sapiens - sapiens is the specific epithet or species name), and your submission will be reviewed by our nomenclature committee.
Certain names for obvious reason, such as profanities or names that invoke intolerance are unacceptable. The name you choose will be the official name of the species; a permanent record that will be carried on forever bearing your chosen name. You may want to choose a special relative, such as son or daughter or husband or wife, to name a new species and then "give" it as a gift.
Email your proposed name to us at bmuseum@ucdavis.edu. Your name will be reviewed and if approved you will be contacted and only at that time will the specified donation be required. Emails will be reviewed as they are received in chronological order. Don't worry if you miss this "Name a New Species!" opportunity, there will be other opportunities for you to name a new species.
If your name is chosen, we will keep you up-to-date on the species description process every step of the way. It will almost be as if you are here in the museum helping us out.
Once the new species is published, you will receive a framed high quality image and signed copy of the journal article bearing your species. The time it takes from your purchase until publication depends on the journal, but we'll keep you up to date every step of the way.
Species names never go extinct and the specific name will never be changed. The pictured type specimen or name bearing specimen will be housed permanently in the Bohart Museum of Entomology on the UC Davis campus.
