THE STATUS OF RESEARCH ON HYMENOPTERA IN MALAYSIA
Researchers working on Hymenoptera can stay in touch with each other by registering
themselves in a discussion group (parahym@)nhm.ac.uk). Registration can be done online or
by contacting John Noyes at the NHM (j.noyes@nhm.ac.uk). The ‘International Hymenoptera
Conference’ is held every four years and enables researchers to present their research findings.

RESEARCHERS
Currently, few researchers work on hymenopterans, and many of those that do work on this
order work on bees, ants and larger-sized wasps (e.g., vespids and specids), which are not as
diverse as ichneumonids, braconids and chalcids (Goulet & Huber 1993). Table 8 lists the
researchers working on parasitic Hymenoptera.
