Abstract

A paper on the occasion of the 75th birthday of Terry Lee Erwin (1940–2020), an outstanding biologist and founding Editor-in-Chief of ZooKeys, was published in 2015 and contained complete lists of Erwin’s publications, patronyms (taxa named after him) and new taxa published by him. The present paper aims to complement these lists with all new information published after 2015, including the papers in the present special issue of ZooKeys dedicated to the blessed memory of Terry Lee Erwin.

Introduction

The ZooKeys founding Editor-in-Chief and world-known entomologist Terry Lee Erwin passed away on 11th of May 2020, leaving a sad feeling of emptiness and loss in our hearts! In recognition of his outstanding scientific achievements and dedication to ZooKeys from the very start of the journal, Pensoft and Terry’s colleagues and friends organised a memorial volume in ZooKeys published today and of which the present article is a part. It encompasses the list of 10 publications of Terry Erwin, 31 new taxa described by him and 16 taxa named after him, published after the Festschrift paper on the occasion of Terry’s 75th birthday (ZooKeys Editorial Office 2015), including also the patronyms described to honor Terry in the present memorial volume. In total, this makes 268 publications, 67 patronyms and the impressive 472 taxa described as new to science by Terry Erwin.
