[Taxacom] Thousands of holotype burn

[Ivie, Michael]

This might well be the largest loss of primary types ever in a single event, if the reported total loss proves true.  Thousands of types in the Cerambycidae alone.
Our hearts go out to our Brazilian colleagues.  Horrible event, please no negative comments while this tragedy is so fresh.

Mike
