Gerrit Withaar, the Dutch coleopterist, has passed away.
Gerrit was a specialist of Cerambycidae, especially from New Guinea where he organized several scientific expeditions. He described several insect species and several other insect species bear his name.
He was also the co-founder of the Papua Insect Foundation.
A great loss !
