Entomological systematics is that field which focuses on the discovery, organization, and interpretation of biological diversity. It is generally recognized to include three main tasks: taxonomy, phylogenetic analysis, and classification. Taxonomy is the science of discovering, describing, and naming species or groups of species. Examination of the evolutionary relationships among groups of species is based on phylogenetic analysis and the subsequent classifications are built on the results of these analyses.

Much of the work for these web pages represents the concerted effort of numerous individuals. We acknowledge their assistance and contributions for making this research possible.
