A sad message that reached me though the Sciomyzid Workers network:

Dear Sciomyzidae workers!

I regret to inform you that Dr. Kaupo Elberg passed away on Friday, 30th of August.
In accordance with his wish, public announcements and condolences have not been distributed.

Yours sincerely

Gail Kampmeier reported on Facebook to have received the sad news that Don Webb passed away on Wednesday, Sept. 5th in his home. Don worked as a dipterist at the Illinois Natural History Survey starting in 1966, and retired in 2007, although still working on flies as his golf game permitted. Raise a rum & coke in his honor for he will be missed! Here is a photo from the International Congress of Dipterology in 2010 in Costa Rica.

In the mean time an obituary has been posted: http://www.news-gazette.com/obituaries/2012-09-10/donald-webb.html.

Dear colleagues,

I would very much like to invite you to submit papers to the renewed TvE - Tijdschrift voor Entomologie, a journal of systematic and evolutionary entomology since 1857.
The journal is being published in a new setting by Brill publishers, and the recently published vol 155, no 1 is now open access at http://booksandjournals.brillonline.com/content/22119434/155/1.

Please read my editorial on this site: http://booksandjournals.brillonline.com/content/10.1163/22119434-00002007;jsessionid=kjko8fs04kcd.x-brill-live-01.
We welcome quality papers on insect, arachnid and myriapod systematics, taxonomy , evolutionary studies, including DNA barcoding, molecular phylogeny etc. The new platform will make the journal better visible, and we continue to publish free of costs, and with free pdf for the authors.
The journal has a long standing of quality publishing papers on insect, arachnid and myriapod systematics. All volumes up to 141 are open access on the Biodiversity heritage Library http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/10088, also accessible through http://biostor.org/. More recent issues can be found as pdf in the Index on the old TvE site: http://www.nev.nl/tve/.

For submitting manuscripts, please go to the Editorial Management System at http://www.editorialmanager.com/tve/, and register.
Publication times are relatively short, also because we will produce now three issues annually.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. Those of you who will be at the ICE in Daegu, Korea can meet me there, there will also be a booth of Brill publishers (number 329) where you can make an appointment.

Erik
