David and Bill, I shall inform Horst when he is back from China, since he formerly had good contacts to the Japanese people around Hiroyuki Kishi. In fact, I received my first P. pahuensis some years ago via him from Hiroyuki Kishi who had caught them himself in eastern Borneo.
Their “invisibility” is a great problem. They once had a living website, but it is gone or nearly gone nowadays. I do myself not know whether the “Team Borneo” still exists or not. I had some contacts with them preparing our Paro-book. But it was always difficult.
One of the inhibiting problems is language. I had myself many problems in communication with Hiroyuki and his friends because nobody is capable of good English, let alone German. And I am not of Japanese.
