Very sad news, passed away last week at home in London.
He was a master piece if not THE master of African Butterflies.

That's disheartening news... I was just getting to know him.

Very sad news. I spent many happy hours chatting with him at the Natural History Museum in London.

Very sad news. Torben's 'Hazards of Butterfly Collecting ' is one of my favourite books.

Oh dear, that's really sad news. Torben Larsen really was one of the top experts, full stop.
RIP.
Adam.

Blanca Huertas has written a nice obituary of Torben to be published in the Entomologists' Record (where he published his "Hazards" series). I guess I can't reproduce it here without infringing their copyright.

Thank you Bob for the information.
You need to ask Blanca before reproducing it here. I am sure Blanca will be ok as it is a obituary.

Blanca gave me a reprint and I'm sure she'd be OK with me posting it here, but wouldn't it be up to the journal rather than her?

If you have a written authorization from the "author", then no issue for me.

If you have a written authorization from the "author", then no issue for me. the autorisation must come from the revue (copyright) .... I think ! normally they will easily accept if the references are complete |

Yes, Blanca told me that she was writing one for Europe and Steve one for Africa.
I've asked the editor of the Entomologists' Record if I can post her obituary here, let's see what they say.
