KUDOS:

Gino Nearns and Traci Gryzmala recently attended the Annual Meeting of Southwestern Branch of the Entomological Society of America meetings in Stillwater, OK (on the Oklahoma State University campus). They both won awards for their presentations:

"On the longhorned beetles of the world: a phylogeny based on molecular data" (Gino Nearns)

and the title of Traci's presentation was: "Preliminary Morphological Analysis for Systematic Revision of the Longhorned Beetle Genus Elytroleptus Dugés (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Trachyderini)"

Congratulations to both Gino and Traci!
