A lot of Fallen's types have type locality: Sweden, Esperod
Could somebody gives coordinates or modern name of "Esperod"?

Thank you, Kurt!
One more question:
Esperöd is a settlement of several houses or oak forest around?

Hi Nikita !

Esperöd is the name of the mansion, where Fallen lived/spent a lot of time.
You can see a photo at: http://esperodsherrgard.se

Google earth coordinates: 55 40'43.20'' N , 14 14'24.70'' E

There is actually a photo of a big oak close to the mansion at Google earth, but I dont think there is any oak forest.

Fallen died in 1830 and the arborete was created in 1922.

Esperöd is also a "Nature reserve" with this homepage in Swedish Grin

After some more research found this:

There are also plenty of oak, both with big crowns, reminiscent of days when the landscape was characterized by grazing (Fallen's time ?) , and smaller windswept oaks, that grow on the east side, close to the sea.

Hopefully this answers your "oak-question".

Thank you, Lief!
It is always a kind of puzzle to reed the old labels.
One puzzle less!

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
