Abstract
NAZI air-raids and artillery bombardments of Leningrad, Moscow and other Russian cities are taking a heavy toll of the scientific workers who have remained at their posts. News has just reached Great Britain of the deaths in this way of the following entomologists : A. M. Iljinsky (specialist in insect toxicology) ; A. M. Gerasimov (lepidopterist) ; S. A. Predtechensky (specialist in Orthoptera and particularly in the locust problem) ; A. N. Reichardt (coleopterist, specialist in Histeridae) ; V. E. Redi-korzev (insect anatomist and histologist) ; A. A. Stackelberg (dipterist) ; S. P. Tarbinsky (orthop-terist) ; “and many others” as is stated in the letter containing this sad list. All these entomologists were well-known specialists in their respective spheres, most of them in the prime of life, and these gaps in the ranks of leaders of Soviet entomology will not be easy to fill, particularly when even heavier losses can be expected among the younger entomologists serving in the Armed Forces.
