CONTRIBUTOR NOTES
Floyd G. Werner was born in Illinois, educated at Harvard University, and received his PhD there in 1950. In 1954 he moved to Arizona, where he spent the rest of his life until his death on 20 December 1992. He was a specialist on the beetle families Meloidae, Anthicidae, and Aderidae, lived in an area where these families are quite diverse, and consequently authored/co-authored 100 or so papers with faunal, systematic, and ecological treatments of these and many other groups of insects.
Donald S. Chandler was born and initially educated in California, following with an MS at the University of Arizona under Floyd Werner and a PhD at The Ohio State University. In 1981 he joined the Department of Entomology at The University of New Hampshire, and continued research on the systematics of Anthicidae and Pselaphidae, and effects of disturbance on forest floor beetles. He has authored 55 papers covering systematics, faunal, and ecological treatments of several beetle families.
