Corixidae of the Montana Entomology Collection, Montana State University

Corixidae (Order Hemiptera) is a widespread and species-rich family of aquatic insects, colloquially called Water Boatmen. The Montana Entomology Collection (MTEC), funded by the Council on Library and Information Resources “Hidden Collections” grant, digitized Corixidae specimens housed in its museum. This produced over 4700 records detailing sampling localities, collecting dates, number of individuals, and identifications of 44 species of Corixidae primarily collected from Montana, USA. Spanning over one century of sampling, the records reveal the efforts of 50 collectors who contributed 5600 individual specimens.
