In Memoriam Rolando Teruel Ochoa (1974 – 2023)

 


As previously reported, our friend and scorpion expert Rolando Teruel sadly passed away 28.08.23. Luis F. de Armas & Sheyla Yong published yesterday an extensive obituary honoring this great Cuban arachnologist, who so many of us in the scorpions community had long-time relations with. 

Rolando left us too soon at the age of 49, but his impressing amount of research contributions on scorpions and other arachnids will live on. The obituary gives us an insight on Rolando's life and research, illustrated with many personal pictures from his life and career.

Rest in peace, Rolando!

Abstract:
This is an obituary of Rolando Teruel Ochoa (1974–2023), a great Cuban arachnologist. A full list of his works is appended, as well as a list of scorpions and other arachnids described by Rolando.
