RIP Jim S. Miller

[Adam Cotton]

I have just been informed that Jim S. Miller, author of the very important 1987 work Phylogenetic Studies in the Papilioninae (Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, 186(4): 365-512, figs. 1-186, tabs. 1-6), has sadly died after a heart attack.

He also published several works on host plant relationships in Lepidoptera.

Adam.

This is a loss for certain. I remember that paper specific paper, one of the first phylogenetic analyses of a butterfly family, published just as I left grad school. He worked at one of the "classier" museums with research collections, and will be missed.
