Biodiversity Inventory for Conservation (BINCO) vzw is a Belgium-based platform for biodiversity projects aimed at collecting and disseminating “primary data” to reinforce conservation initiatives. Basic biodiversity information is often spatially clustered, with large gaps in the tropics and absent for smaller organisms. BINCO strives towards filling these voids. A vast amount of species data is latently present in museum collections in the form of old collections. To make this data easily accessible and help unlocking the data present BINCO contributes to the digitization of RBINS entomology collections in coordination by Martijn Van Roie. In this first step, the genus Calligrapha Chevrolat, 1836 was digitized with the help of Koen Martens and Jonas Merckx, and species were identified by Dr. Jésus Gomèz-Zurita (Institut de Biologia Evolutiva, Barcelona, Spain).
