[Taxacom] Thomas Witt passed away

[John Grehan]

Dear colleagues,

Some of you involved with Lepidoptera in particular, but also for other
insect groups, will know of Thomas Witt's contributions to the field and
his important collection at the Museum Witt München. Sadly Thomas has
passed away at the age of 71.  He will be greatly missed by those who know
him and have benefited from collaborations. For me  it is a tremendous and
sudden loss.
