Zdzisława Teresa STEBNICKA 1932-2012.
Abstract:
Zdzisława STEBNICKA had passed this year and this message filled the community of coleopterologists with grief, documented by abundant correspondence received by us. Some of your letters expressed sheer disbelief, as She was working almost till Her last days. To the fellow coleopterologists from abroad She was known as an outstanding specialist of the beetles, especially of the tribe Aphodini, on which a book in four volumes, Her opus vitae, was completed just a year ago, to top the list of more than 100 publications. She was known to you under Her second name, Teresa, or Giga, as neither Zdzisława,nor the abbreviated form “Dzidka” used here was possible to remember and to pronounce by Her friends from abroad.
