Many are on various Coleoptera Facebook groups. Friends of Coleoptera at the Natural History Museum (Entomology) is one of the more active ones while others are more taxonomically or geographically oriented e.g. Scarabs of Southern Africa or Coleoptera of East Asia.

Peter,
It's interesting to know that Ida Pfeiffer's letters (at least some of them) are available. I had not Googled her; I'll see what I can find online!
Wallace's comments in the letter I quoted make it sound almost as if he would prefer to see her go to Madagascar, or some other place from which she would not be competing with him... but I think that would have been out of character for Wallace, and it's an unkind interpretation. He probably just knew that Madagascar needed collecting...
Thanks, John
