Previously this year we got the sad news that scorpion researcher and enthusiast Richard Ayrey had passed. The Euscorpius journal recently published a memorial article honoring Rich's life and work on scorpions.

Abstract

This is a memorial issue honoring Richard F. Ayrey (1948 – 2024), a US scorpiologist. A full list of his 26 works is appended, as well as a list of scorpion taxa described by Richard (two genera and 19 species of Vaejovidae), and a map of their type localities in the USA and Mexico.
