Type material of Asilidae (Diptera) described by Jason Londt in the Natural History Museum, London

Abstract

The primary and secondary types as well as some non-type material donated by Jason Londt (and various collaborators) to the Natural History Museum, London (NHMUK) have been examined and databased which comprises 35 holotypes, 293 paratypes, and 18 non-types (added for completeness), a total of 328 type specimens from 103 species (6% of the total Afro-tropical fauna). All specimen labels were imaged, both frontal and reverse sides, alongside the specimen. Notes were made of any dissections or damage to the specimens. Additional notes were made of any differences between the labels from the species descriptions and the actual specimens.
