[Syrphidae] Re: message from Gunilla Stahls

[Jeroen van Steenis]

Dear All

What a terrible news this to hear. It is a great loss for the study of
Syrphidae in Sweden and for the whole Syrphid community.

Hans did a very great job on the book of "Nationalnyckeln till Sveriges
flora och fauna" in which the diagnostics and faunistics of 413 nordic
species are described.

He also helped me in many ways and encourraged me in the study of Swedish
Syrphidae and it was partly due to his ethusiasm that I started to publish
on Syrphidae too.

I am very overwelmed by his sudden departure and will mis him strongly.

Sincerely,

Jeroen van Steenis.
