Central Research Institute for Food Crops have a systematic collection served as an insect species data bank of pest, natural enemy, and beneficial insects. This collection can be used as a comparative material of species identification, distribution, source of biodiversity, and illustration material for training and other users. Up to 1994, the number of collected insect species are 5.000 species consisted of 9 order from 134 family and thousands of unidentified specimens. During the last decade, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) was developed and was implemented in Indonesia based on bioecology knowledge of insect pest and its natural enemy and environment factors. Therefore biosystematic science on IPM is very important to be developed. Computerized data base is important information that consists of species level, genetic, ecosystem, characteristic, and adaptation capability on the environment. The information can be used as a basic data for decision makers and planers on deciding pest management and developing a concept of environmental adaptation and evolution history of the insect
