This index presents the combined collections of Ed Knudson and Charles Bordelon. "The TLS Collection is the combined private collections of Charles Bordelon and Dr. Edward C. Knudson. Though worldwide material of all families is housed, the main scope is the Lepidoptera of Texas. The TLS Collection is the largest collection of Lepidoptera in the state; in sheer numbers of species. It has absorbed a number of specimen donations from private collections/collectors from across North America and beyond, dating back to the 1930's, as well as our 5 decades of extensive research in the state."
