CONTRIBUTOR NOTES
Contributor Brenda M. May was born and educated in England. She emigrated to New Zealand in 1952, and in 1956 joined the entomology section of the Plant Diseases Division of DSIR as a technical assistant. As a result of numerous enquiries for identification from growers and gardeners, Brenda became interested in rearing the immature stages of weevils. She has continued this work as a Research Associate since her retirement in1980. Brenda sees her Fauna of New Zealand contribution on weevil larvae as the culmination of her efforts, and she now intends to relax into other pursuits.
In 1997 the Entomological Society of New Zealand acknowledged her contribution to the Society and to entomology by dedicating a volume of the New Zealand Entomologist to her (Volume 20) to mark her 80th birthday.
