Melinda Moir
I work as a diagnostician for many different groups of invertebrates (for biosecurity purposes), and as a taxonomist for True Bugs. I was a subject editor for Zootaxa (2011-2020), and I'm currently a subject editor for Austral Entomology (2016-present). Taxonomically, I have a particular interest in Achilidae, Dictyopharidae, Nogodinidae and Tingidae.
