Research Summary

My research interests are mainly focused on diversity, taxonomy, morphological and molecular systematics, evolution and historical biogeography of longhorned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), especially the subfamily Lamiinae.

Current project

Molecular systematics and classification of the longhorned beetle subfamily Lamiinae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae).
