Abstract
The potential total number of solitary aculeate wasp and bee species on 34 research sites was estimated using non-parametric Chao and Jackknife tests of presence/absence. Successful estimates of the maximum number of species were achieved for some but not for other sites. Making further visits to a site or removing 'tourist' species data led to further success in estimating the potential number of species. The optimum number of visits required to successfully evaluate the aculeate fauna at a site was determined.
