[Syrphidae] Re: sad news

[André van Eck]

Indeed, very sad news. I hope, anyone who knew him very well, will write
his biography?   

Last couple of years he already did not really reply to emails and also
ZIN lost contact with him for quite a long time. Untill, suddenly,
Kuznetzov moved his full collection to the ZIN, last year. The
collection includes many type specimens, but some of those are still
missing.  

Would anyone know where the holotype of _Pelecocera persiana_ Kuznetzov,
1989 is at present, I would be very grateful to be informed!
