Number of species

There are 1076 species in my collection )

How did you do the counting? I really can't get to that point: so how much H. Z. do I have there

I maintain a multi-functional database that contains information about all the copies I found or received from someone) I know exactly which families, how many species, and which box contains a particular beetle)

The survey is generally meaningless, then you need to add the size of the group. Collecting all the insects is easy to make a few thousand in the first year (and stay at this figure for a long time), doing some not too large genus - and a hundred species can be collected all your life.

It is convenient to use databases created on the basis of the standard Microsoft Access program.

Yes, at least to whom! Isn't that what this is about?

Oh, and on the Web, no one needed a megasystem:--)

I specialize in the world fauna of bronzes: so far, just over 1,600 species.
