  1. You know that Dennis Haines (with George Walters) is working on a revision of Anambodera, and there are a lot of new species. No idea when this will be published though...

  2. I think it is the other way around. I know George has been working on Anambodera since at least the 80s - when I met him - probably since the 70s. Apparently Haines ingratiated himself on the project in recent years. Apparently George isn't doing well health-wise and I wish him the best.
