Discovery of two new Species of Beetles by Sr.Scientist Dr.Debanshu

My friend, Dr Debanshu who is a senior scientist in ZSI has, with others, discovered two new species of beetle! While congratulating him on the discovery, I also delightfully observed as follows:
"Every new discovery of a species is exciting to nature lovers.
When Dr. Debanshu must feel proud to contribute to increase in knowledge in his field of expertise, there is never a time to rest because "the woods are lovely, dark and deep/But I have miles to go before I sleep.. " In the great museums of natural history in the world, there are definitely numerous new species of Insecta awaiting discovery, and/or rediscovery. Serendipity plays an important role too very often when one stumbles upon a new find. In another context, I am reminded of a parallel of sorts, when a new species of penguin was discovered, not while observing penguins in the Antarctica, but somewhat serendipitously whilst the would-be discoverer happened to be watching a documentary film on penguins! I note that the females of the two new species are as yet unknown. One would hope that these might in course of time be found out too.
