New holotypes in the collection of Museum of Amber Inclusions
Museum of Amber Inclusions, established in 1998, is intergral part of the Laboratory of Evolutionary Entomology and Museum of Amber Inclusions, Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Parasitology at Faculty of Biology University of Gdańsk. The Museum collection enriched recently with subsequent holotypes – the specimens on which scientific names are based, in this case – extinct dipterans preserved as inclusion in the Eocene Baltic amber. Holotypes and paratypes are the most precious specimens in scientific collections, Museum of Amber Inclusions houses now 82 type specimens.
