| Abstract |
On 08 January 2021, Oleg P. Negrobov, Dr.Sc., Professor of the Department of Zoology and Parasitology of the Voronezh State University (Russia), Honoured Worker of the Higher School of the Russian Federation, passed away at the age of 80. In 1959, O.P. Negrobov graduated from the Voronezh State University, and in 1967 he completed a postgraduate course at the Zoological Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences. In 1968, O.P. Negrobov defended his PhD Thesis «Palearctic species of the Medeterinae subfamily (Dolichopodidae, Diptera) – entomophages of hidden-stem pests», and in 1983 he defended his Dr.Sc. Thesis «System and phylogeny of the family Dolichopodidae (Diptera)». In 1967–2021, Oleg P. Negrobov worked at the Voronezh State University, where, during many years, he headed the Department of Ecology and Systematics of Invertebrates. Until the last days of his life, Professor Oleg P. Negrobov was one of the world's leading and actively working specialists in long-legged flies (Diptera: Dolichopodidae). His main scientific publications are devoted exactly to this group of Diptera insects. In total, O.P. Negrobov published more than 1000 papers on various issues in entomology and ecology. But Dolichopodidae flies were his main research object. Every year Oleg P. Negrobov published a large number of studies on the systematics of the Dolichopodidae family. He described new species and genera, and carried out their systematic revisions. For the first time, he described more than 400 species, genera and subfamilies within the order Diptera from various countries of Europe, Asia and Africa. Together with his students, he studied the morphological, biological and ecological features of long-legged flies. Professor Oleg P. Negrobov supervised a large number of scientific projects and trained many students. Under his leadership, a large number of graduate students defended their PhD Dr.Sc. theses. Professor O.P. Negrobov received a huge number of various awards, certificates and letters of thanks. In memory of his colleagues and students, Oleg P. Negrobov was remembered for his calmness and passion for his favourite work – entomology. Students raised by Professor Oleg P. Negrobov will continue the research work of their teacher, and will keep a bright memory of him for future generations of entomologists. This article provides biographical data and a list of some of the most significant works and achievements of Oleg P. Negrobov. |
