POWELL COLLECTION
The California Insect Survey of the Department of Entomology and Parasitology, University of California, Berkeley, is now in the process of accessioning the Jerry A. Powell insect collection, consisting of about 33,200 specimens. The collection, acĀ­cumulated during the years 1946-1960, is primarily Lepidoptera, containing over 14,000 pinned and over 4,000 papered specimens of this group, in addition to some 1400 preserved larvae associated with rearing data. It is particularly rich in California Microlepidoptera and butterflies and includes paratypes of nearly all species described by Powell, as well as the material basis for papers published on Baja California Norte Lepidoptera.
