The development of this tool would not have been possible without the extensive international revisionary work of Dacini by Drs. Richard Drew and David Hancock, for which we are thankful.

The tool was further made possible from the Dacini collections resource that has been built at the University of Hawai'i Insect Museum through more than a decade of USDA agreements that funded field work across the world. We are much indebted to everyone who supported specimen collection: M. Aftab Hossain, P. S. Aung, K. Badji, B. Bhandari, B. Bushe, A. Y. C. Chung, S. Cowan, T. Doi, J. Drouin, J. R. Dupuis, J. Eiben, A. Ekayanti, K. Englberger, E. Fiegalan, U. Freitas, S. Graham, W. P. Haines, D. Haymer, K.S. Hemachandra, T. Hong Pham, N.-N. Howcroft, Y-F Hsu, C-L Huang, F. Huda, J. Ismay, B. Ismay, E. Jang, G. Kang, A. Y. Kawahara, Q. K. Le, J. Y. Liang, Y.-C. Lin, W. J. Lin, C. Mille, A. M. A. Mustapeng, J. Niogret, A. L. Norrbom, A. Ota, S. Ouedrago, N. Pierce, K. Pohlman, R. Putoa, J. B. Reil, E. J. Rodriguez, M. Shin, U. G. A. I. Sirisena, T. Stark, G. J. Steck, S. Tam, N. Thi Nguyen, T. T. T. Vu, E. T. Vueti, P. Waisen, Y. Xia, T. Xian, and N.-N. Zhang.

Photo plates of all species were assembled by Luc Leblanc, after years of visiting collections that hold reliably identified Dacini and types, supplemented with kind contributions of photos by Woogie Kim, Severyn Korneyev, and Marc De Meyer. Scientific Illustrations of select species were created by illustrator Cody Anderson and Camiel Doorenweerd.

We thank our beta testers for their comments that helped further improve the tool: Megan Asche, Carlos Congrains-Castillo, Fan Jiang, Severyn Korneyev, Erick Rodriguez, and one anonymous reviewer.
