Anna Kocorek
University of Opole, Poland

     I am a doctor in the Department of Biosystematics at the University of Opole (Poland). My primary interests in the Pentatomoidea are related to the morphology, classification, and phylogeny of the family Dinidoridae (Oriental and Afrotropical family of Pentatomoidea).

Current Projects:

1) Variability of morphological features of the Oriental species.
2) External morphology of eggs.
3) Comparative study of the metathoracic wing.
4) Description of new species.
5) Revision of the genera Coridiellus, Megymenum.
6) Systematic position and new species of Mimikana (Pentatomidae ?).
