Taxacom: Jeremy Holloway Lepidopterist passed away

[Dilrukshan Wijesinghe]

Thank you for sharing the sad news about Jeremy Holloway. While working as the entomologist of the Department of National Museums in Sri Lanka, in 1985 I attended the Commonwealth Institute of Entomology?s course in applied taxonomy of insects and mites of agricultural importance. If my memory serves me well, the two CIE lepidopterists who served as instructors on the course were John Bradley & Jeremy Holloway. I remember Jeremy as an extremely helpful & humble person.
