San Diego Natural History Museum Entomology Department (SDNHM-SDMC)
Collection is heavily focused on the SW USA and NW Mexico, particularly the peninsula of Baja California. Notably strong collections of Lepidoptera and Neuroptera. The median date of specimen acquisition is 1957 with collections ranging from 1905 to present day. Current and near future collection priorities will focus on underrepresented areas in Baja California, particular inland and coastal dunes.
