We have completed the restoration of the grave of Grigory Olsufyev. It remains only to make a sign.

After Seyrigi. André Seyrig (1897-1945) - the largest collector of the time.

In honor of Vadon - VADON, JEAN (1904-1970). Also a collector. Apparently, both are Olsufyev's sponsors.

But my son found it today on the plantation. Define it?



I couldn't get a clearer picture yet - it's too fast.

I can only reach the family-Mutillidae, female. Surely it stings painfully!

Given the fact that in the message above I published a list of 27 Madagascar German Olsufyev, apparently this is one of them. They did not check the strength of the poison. we believe in the word))

Just in case, I warned my son, and you too, to be careful with these cute girls.

Are there no other species on the island besides those described by Olsuf'ev?
In any case, I doubt that there will be a specialist on Madagascar German women on this forum.

There is of course, but not so much as Grigory Alekseevich. He already described 27 pieces in just one year.

"According to Jean VADON, Olsufyev did not have any property. To survive, he was forced at the beginning of World War II to sell part of his collection. A. SEYRIG bought collections from the Mutilles family, and J. VADON from the Epilissiens family. Thus, Olsufiev's research material is currently in the Seyrig collection at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris.

But SEYRIG also did not have complete data on Mutillidae. In early 1969, a number of boards with Mutilles were found in Madame Olsufieva's personal belongings in a nursing home in Antsirab. They were attached with pins and under each individual there was a label with a location."

It may be possible to find this collection, if it is still safe, of course.
