Samoan insects and related arthropods: checklist and bibliography
Kami K and Miller S. 1998. Samoan insects and related arthropods: checklist and bibliography. Bishop Museum Press. Honolulu, HI
This checklist and bibliography provides a preliminary synthesis of the literature on insects and related arthropods of the Samoan Islands. The list includes 2523 species of insects and 251 species of other arthropods. These numbers are probably an overestimate of the number of published species records (because of unresolved synonymies), but certainly underestimate the total number of species present in Samoan, because many have not yet been recorded in the literature. Many new unreported records are present in collections, especially at Bishop Museum (Honolulu) and Landcare Research (Auckland). Nevertheless, this list provides a foundation for future research.
