8th International Congress of Hymenopterists

The first formal circular for the congress in Cusco Peru,
and some additional information on the Hymenoptera workshop after the
meeting in Villa Carmen, Peru is ready.

If you are planning to attend, please fill out our intent to register form. The form will give the organizers a better idea of how many people to expect at the congress.

Please circulate this to as many people as possible to help grow our
membership and attendance at the meeting! Please feel free to contact
the ISH Society President, John Heraty, or members of the organizing or scientific committee with any
