New species and genus

This section contains new genus and species that have been found by us and donated to various museums and institutions. Finding new genus and species is not easy. We have easily donated over 25,000 specimens to various museums and instutions and the below items are the only ones so far that were new to science. Multiple other papers are in the works, hopefully this section is updated soon!
