INTRODUCTION Despite micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging of dried insect specimens is non-destructive, authentic and minimally invasive, it has been sparsely used in descriptive insect systematics. In this paper, we focus on applying micro-CT imaging to yield diagnostic images in descriptive insect taxonomy in a non-destructive way using rare dried and pinned museum specimens.
