[TABD] Torben Larsen African Butterflies

[Blanca Huertas]

Dear colleagues,

With great sadness, I have to report that our dear colleague Dr Torben Larsen, passed away last week at home in London. I received the news this morning from his colleague Steve Collins in Africa. His funeral will likely be in Denmark.

The African Butterfly Research Institute is consolidating a world set of tributes that will be shared at the memorial and published in the Lepidopterists Society Journal – Metamorphosis in respect of Torben’s huge contributions to Africa/Middle East Lepidoptera. Please contact Dr Collins should you wish to contribute.

Please share this sad news with people whom would wish to know.

Regards,

Blanca
