A catalogue of the amphibian and reptile type specimens in the collections of the Papua New Guinea National Museum and University of Papua New Guinea is provided, with collection data obtained from the registers of each collection, and comments on the current condition and whereabouts of the type specimens and discrepancies between data from different sources. A list of missing type specimens is appended. Primary type specimens of 43 species and secondary type specimens for 89 species are held in these collections. Litoria hunti Richards, Oliver, Dahl & Tjaturadi, 2006 is emended to Litoria huntorum, in accordance with the Code of Zoological Nomenclature.

An annotated list is presented of the 110 primary types (holotypes, lectotypes, syntypes, or neotypes) of sucking lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera: Anoplura) deposited in the U.S. National Museum of Natural History (USNM), Smithsonian Institution, as of May 2005. Annotations for each taxon are listed alphabetically by specific epithet, and are followed by the original generic assignment and (in parentheses) the current family designation. Next, the author, year of description, and original citation are provided. The primary type held in the USNM (with USNM type number, slide number and other relevant data, if these were assigned), original collection data, current taxonomic assignment (if different from the original designation), and additional taxonomic remarks, if relevant, are then given. Brief information on allotypes and paratypes are included if these are mounted on the same microscope slide as the primary type or if they are otherwise relevant. The types include those of the type species of seven genera (Abrocomaphthirus Durden & Webb, Atopophthirus Kim & Emerson, Haematopinoides Osborn, Latagophthirus Kim & Emerson, Pecaroecus Babcock &Ewing, Phthirpediculus Ewing, and Sathrax Johnson) one of which is the type genus of a family (Pecaroecidae). Primary types for five species of Anoplura that have not yet been described, and for another four species that were described in an unpublished dissertation are also deposited in the USNM. Hosts and collection data for these nine specimens are briefly mentioned after the main list; however, species names are excluded because these names currently have no nomenclatural standing. A neotype specimen is designated for Haematopinus montanus Osborn, 1896, a taxon which is currently treated as a junior synonym of Linognathoides laeviusculus (Grube, 1851).

On 20 August 2007, Epemeavo and Kea Kea villagers from the eastern end of the Gulf Province of Papua New Guinea reported finding two lagatoi hulls deeply buried in beach sands at Upihoi, near Epemeavo village, parts of a trading vessel associated with the renowned Motu hiri trade of former times. This paper presents results of an emergency investigation of these finds by staff of the Papua New Guinea National Museum and Art Gallery and Monash University, describing the find, its environmental, cultural and social settings and contexts of discovery, radiocarbon dating, historical assessments, and significance.

The primary and secondary type specimens of 27 species of sawflies housed at the Museo de La Plata (División Entomología), Argentina are listed. Information on kinds of types, collection data, and current status are provided. The types belong to species described by P. Jörgensen, C. Schrottky, and D. R. Smith. Two new synonymies are recognized: Aphilodyctium nigripenne Schrottky, 1913 syn. nov. of Waldheimia nigripennis Jörgensen 1913 and Siobla argentina Schrottky, 1913 syn. nov. of Stromboceros argentinus Jörgensen 1913.

The collection of the United States National Museum of Natural History includes 183 type specimens of Yponomeutoidea: 106 holotypes, 24 lectotypes, 2 neotypes and 14 species described from syntypes. The primary type specimens of Yponomeutoidea are catalogued with annotations of their collecting data, specimen condition and, if any, uncertainty involving in the type series. Lectotypes are designated for 23 species comprising six Argyresthiidae: Argyresthia alternatella Kearfott, 1908, A. bolliella Busck, 1907, A. castaneella Busck, 1915, A. furcatella Busck, 1916, A. laricella Kearfott, 1908, A. libocedrella Busck, 1916; two Attevidae: Atteva exquisita Busck, 1912, Oeta comptana var. floridana Neumoegen, 1891; Bedelliidae: Bedellia minor Busck, 1900; two Glyphipterigidae: Abrenthia cuprea Busck, 1915, Glyphipterix semiflavana Issiki, 1930; two Heliodinidae: Lamprolophus lithella Busck, 1900, Scelorthus pisoniella Busck, 1900; three Lyonetiidae: Leucoptera erythrinella Busck, 1900, L. pachystimella Busck, 1904, L. smilaciella Busck, 1900; Praydidae: Eucatagma amyrisella Busck, 1900; three Yponomeutidae: Swammerdamia castaneae Busck, 1914, Zelleria celastrusella Kearfott, 1903, Z. gracilariella Busck, 1904; three putative yponomeutoids: Pliniaca bakerella Busck, 1907, Pl. sparsisquamella Busck, 1907, Podiasa chiococcella Busck, 1900.

Mites in the family Trombiculidae sensu lato are parasites of terrestrial vertebrates, even humans, in their larval stage. There are more than 3,700 species of chiggers, and about one-third of these species are represented by type specimens in the Smithsonian Institution’s United States National Museum Entomology Collection. Here we provide a catalog of all primary and secondary type specimens of chiggers (holotype, paratype, syntype, lectotype, and paralectotype) housed in the collection. Listed herein are 1,026 type specimens with 645 representing holotypes, 782 paratypes, 69 syntypes, 19 lectotypes, and 16 paralectotypes of larvae, deutonymphs, and adult chiggers. <br>
