“…The material collected from 1903 to 1925 contains approximately 1300 samples preserved in alcohol, entomological pins, ampoules and 477 slides-mounted specimens. This is a collection of historical and scientific relevance, since it congregates samples collected by Oswaldo Cruz and Carlos Chagas, as well (AMARAL-CALVÃO & MAIA-HERZOG 2003).…”

The homogeneity of the Simuliidae family has produced several taxonomic problems along the years. The studies of Brazilian Simulium Latreille, 1802 date from the beginning of the 20th century, with species described by Kollar, Macquart, Goeldi and Lutz. Lutz's scientific collection is a historical relic of scientific relevance, since it congregates types described from Brazil. Besides its taxonomic importance, this collection can now be used as a bio indicator. However, a lot of these slide-mounted specimens could not support the effects of time, constant handling, fungus and climatic conditions that occurred over the years. The development of a slide-mounted restoration technique had therefore become necessary for specimen preservation and observation.
