Peninsular Malaysia. There is a great need for taxonomic and systematic studies on insects in<br />
Malaysia, especially on many of the less popular insect groups. In addition, taxonomists and<br />
systematists need to be provided with adequate funds and incentives that will enable them to<br />
conduct their research, purchase relevant equipment and discuss and present their work. At<br />
the administrative and political level, there needs to be sustained interest and commitment to<br />
funding to ensure that insect diversity is properly documented and described. The success of<br />
Malaysia’s initiative to inventorise its biodiversity greatly depends on sustained political will.<br />
