A faunistic database on the spiders of the Caucasus
Last year, the Georgian arachnologist Tamara Mkheidze died in Tbilisi at the age of 91. In remembrance of her, obituaries have been written in the past months. Here are the citations and a pdf of the German obituary:
"... a thorough collecting of Arachnids in Transcaucasia would yield a magnificent prey because, namely in spiders, an astonishing richness in both individuals and species made itself noticeable." L. Koch (1878)
