In 1993, 71 hymenopteran type specimens from the University of California, Berkeley's Essig Museum were deposited in four other institutions: the California Academy of Sciences (San Francisco, California), the Queensland Museum (Brisbane, Australia), the Plant Protection Research Institute (Pretoria, South Africa) and the U.S. National Museum (Washington, D.C.). The specimens are Braconidae, Ichneumonidae, Scelionidae, Eucoilidae, Perilampidae, Encyrtidae, Aphelinidae, Eulophidae, Trichogrammatidae, Mymaridae and Bethytidae, and represent 54 holotypes, 12 allotypes and 5 syntypes. The three holotype specimens of Bactropria brasiliensis Kieffer, Xyalopria ruficornis Kieffer and Ganaspis reclusa Kieffer are reported missing.
