Congratulations on all your publications - there seem to be an unending line of them coming out! :)
I'm really impressed by these "digital" style papers with so many high quality photographs of specimens - empowers the reader to make their own judgement of characters and not just rely on line-drawings of cherry-picked bits of the morphology! Of course its beautiful to just look at too!
