Oncideres ochreostillata Dillon & Dillon 1952
No full textOncideres ochreostillata Dillon & Dillon, 1952 Type locality. Brazil, "Santa Dounrya" (Peru, Lima: Santa Dounya) (FMNH). Distribution. Brazil? Oncideres ochreostillata Dillon & Dillon, 1952: 75; Chemsak, 1977: 177 (type); Monné, M.A., 2005b: 582 (cat.); Nearns & Maier, 2016: 4, figs. 13a, b (holotype). The photograph of the label of the type-specimen of Oncideres ochreostillata Dillon & Dillon, 1952 (Nearns & Maier, 2016: fig. 13b), allowed us to determine the correct provenance of the specimen. On the upper line is “Santa Dounya” and on the second and lower line is “G.E. Peru ”. Therefore, the correct provenance is Peru, Province of Lima: Santa Maria del Mar District, 12°25′00″S 76°47′00″W, Santa Dounya. In the original description (Dillon & Dillon, 1952: 75) the locality listed is Brazil, “Santa Dounrya”.Published as part of Monné, Miguel A. & Monné, Marcela L., 2018, Nomenclatural and distributional notes on Neotropical Cerambycidae (Coleoptera), pp. 287-294 in Zootaxa 4379 (2) on page 292, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4379.2.9, http://zenodo.org/record/117553

Joan Dillon papers
No full textJoan Kent Dillon (b. 1925) is a nationally known historic preservation activist, having served on the Board of Directors of the National Trust for Historic Preservation from 1980 to 1989 and the Smithsonian Institution from 1989 to the present. A long-time resident of Kansas City, Dillon began her involvement with historic theaters in 1974, when she purchased the Folly Theater in the city center. Over the next thirteen years she raised more than $5 million to renovate the former burlesque hall. Her activities with the Folly Theater led to her involvement with the League of Historic American Theaters (LHAT), on whose Board of Directors she served after 1978. Through her growing involvement with theaters, she met David Naylor, a photographer and author of two books on American movie theaters. Together they decided to pursue Dillon's longstanding idea of a book on nineteenth-century American theaters. In the period between 1994 and 1996, they traveled extensively, viewing, evaluating, and photographing theaters throughout the United States. The resulting book, American Theaters: Performance Halls of the Nineteenth Century, appeared in 1997. The papers focus exclusively on the research, preparation and publication of American Theaters: Performance Halls of the Nineteenth Century. The collection documents theaters included in the book, as well as theaters that were considered for inclusion but rejected. There are also a large number of photographs and slides of theaters documented in the files
