Occasional Papers

The Occasional Papers of the Florida State Collection of Arthropods (FSCA) is an irregular series of larger works published by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services – Division of Plant Industry (FDACS-DPI). The series focuses on non-marine arthropods covering topics such as systematic revisions, taxonomy, nomenclature, faunal works, natural history, catalogues, checklists, etc. Typically, these are works resulting from use of museum specimens. The original PDF of the work is posted in a free openly accessible manner on this page and by the Center for Systematic Entomology (CSE) on the date of release. Printed copies are exchanged with collaborating libraries. A purpose of the Occasional Papers series is to highlight research by the staff and Research Associates of the Florida State Collection of Arthropods with museum-based products of interest to the community at large.
