A database ProctELKU is a specimen database based on the parasitic wasp collection preserved in the Entomological Laboratoty, Kyushu University. Prof. Keizo Yasumatsu of the Entomological Laboratory of Kyushu University succeeded in the biological control using Anicetus beneficus for the first time. We accumulated many specimens of parasitic wasps in the laboratory. The number of the specimens belonging to the Proctotrupoidea which were identified at genus level is 7,689 in total at present (August 31, 2011). Each record is consists of 19 items according to a format of the Darwin Core of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility(GBIF), such as scientific name, country, collecting locality, collecting date, collector, etc.

The related parasitic wasp database file is as follows:

    • Image database TOBIKOBACHI based on the encyrtid wasp collection of Dr. T. Tachikawa

Type specimen database TachikawaType based on Dr. Tachikawa’s parasitic wasp type collection

The ProctELKU is managed by a text database management system SIGMA.

The ProctELKU file is supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Publication of Scientific Research Results (Head Investigator: Osamu Tadauchi) from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.

The use of data in this database is free of charge if the objective is academic study or educational purposes.
