ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
For the opportunity to examine material in their care the
authors thank J. M. W. Marris and M. H. Bowie (Entomology
Research Museum, Lincoln University, Lincoln), J.
W. Early (Auckland Institute and Museum, Auckland),
P. M. Johns and S. D. Pollard (Canterbury Museum,
Christchurch), R. L. Palma and P. Sirvid (Museum of
New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington), B. I. P.
Barratt (Mosgiel), P. Howe (Timaru), J. Nunn (Dunedin),
C. McPhee (Museum of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia),
R. Davidson (Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
U.S.A.), and D. Brzoska (Naples, Florida, U.S.A.). Further
thanks are extended to T. Deuve and A. Taghavian (Muséum
d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, France) for their efforts
in locating type specimens.
The authors owe exceptional thanks to B. Garner
(The Natural History Museum, London, U.K.) for her
extraordinary and sustained efforts in making extensive
type material available for this work. A large proportion
of New Zealand primary types of Carabidae are in London
and over 30 primary types travelled safely and efficiently
between the U.K. and New Zealand. It would
have been nearly impossible to complete this monograph
without such facilitated access, e.g., to the Broun Collection.
The authors wish to thank the following referees for
their helpful comments and suggestions to improve the
manuscript: R. Davidson (Carnegie Museum of Natural
History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.), H. Goulet
(Agri-Seed Canada, Ottawa, Canada), R. J. B. Hoare and
T. K. Crosby (Landcare Research, Auckland), and R. L.
Palma (Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa,
Wellington).
The authors are deeply indebted to B. E. Rhode
(Landcare Research) who has taken beautiful photos
illustrating most species in this monograph, prepared
species distribution maps, laid out all photos and maps,
and provided other technical assistance. They are also
grateful to H. Goulet for his splendid photos of groundbeetles
for the cover, frontispiece, and popular summary.
Thanks are also extended to P. M. Johns and S. D. Pollard
(Canterbury Museum, Christchurch) for permission
to reproduce photos of Migadopini taxa published in the
Records of Canterbury Museum and to S. Myers (Bernice
P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S.A.) for
permission to use a photo of one of their Trechini types.
The authors are also grateful to Y. Bousquet (Agri-
Seed Canada, Ottawa, Canada) for consultation on
nomenclatural issues and to L. H. Clunie (Landcare
Research, Auckland) for technical assistance with the
curation of NZAC.
The authors are most obliged to T. R. Buckley and I.
Breitwieser (Landcare Research, Auckland and Lincoln)
for their encouragement and for allocating resources towards
completion of this work.
This research was supported by Core funding for
Crown Research Institutes from the Ministry of Business,
Innovation and Employment’s Science and Innovation
Group, for the Defining New Zealand’s Land Biota
research programme (and its predecessors).
