 Frank
Hovore in his lab.

Frank T. Hovore passed away unexpectedly in September 2006
from a heart attack while collecting in Ecuador. He passed
away doing one of the things he loved best: collecting beetles
in the tropics. He was known as the preeminent Pleocoma (rain
beetle) specialist in the world. His Coleoptera research interests
were the ecology, taxonomic diversity, and distribution of
Cerambycidae, with recent study and survey emphasis upon the
faunas of Central (Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama) and South
America (French Guiana, Ecuador), and the biology, ecology,
and systematics of the genus Pleocoma (Pleocomidae). Good
bye and good hunting, Frank. |
