CONTRIBUTORS
Contributor Jan Klimaszewski was born in Poland in 1950. He graduated MSc in 1973 and PhD in 1978 from the University of Wroclaw, with a specialisation in the beetle family Staphylinidae. He was based in Poland until 1980, when he took up a postdoctoral research fellowship in Ottawa, Canada. From 1982 to 1989 he was a research associate in the Lyman Entomological Museum at McGill University, working on lacewings (Neuroptera). Jan was then appointed as a Senior Curator of Coleoptera in the Transvaal Museum, Pretoria, South Africa. In 1993 he returned briefly to Canada before taking up the post of Coleopterist with Landcare Research in New Zealand.
Update: Jan is now a researcher at B. C. Research, Vancouver, Canada. He can now be contacted via email at jklimasz@bcr.bc.ca.
Contributor J. Charles Watt was born in England but moved to New Zealand at an early age. He graduated MSc (Hons) in zoology from the University of Auckland in 1960. In 1965 he graduated DPhil from Oxford University, where he worked on the beetle family Tenebrionidae. He then joined the Entomology Division of DSIR, with responsibility in the Systematics Section for all beetles except the weevils. Charles was obliged to retire prematurely in 1986 because of a stroke which left him hemiplegic. He has since been an honorary research associate of the invertebrate systematics group, first under DSIR and since 1992 under Landcare Research.
