Max Gemminger
Max Gemminger (22 January 1820 – 18 April 1887) was a German physician, anatomist, zoologist and a curator at Royal Bavarian museum in Munich. He published a major catalogue of the beetles in the collections along with Baron Edgar von Harold, describing a number of taxa. He also worked on fish biology and collaborated with other zoologists of the period. Gemminger was born in Munich and went to a Latin school in Regensburg and from 1834 at Munich. He went to the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, University of Munich where he received a doctorate in medicine. His 1847 dissertation was on the electric organs of the ''Mormyrus''. He described four bones dorsal and ventral to the electric organ that were named later as "Gemminger bones" while a horseshoe shaped bone around the optic nerve of birds has been termed as "Gemminger ossicles" or ''os opticus''. He then became the head of a municipal museum in Trieste. In 1849 he moved to the museum in Munich instigated by his former ...

Edgar Von Harold
Baron Edgar von Harold (30 May 1830 – 1 August 1886) was an influential Scarabaeidae expert and entomologist who was active in the 19th century. He worked along with Max Gemminger to produce a twelve-volume catalogue of beetles. Biography Edgar von Harold was born in Munich to a German family with Irish origins. He completed his early education at the court of the Bavarian King from where he graduated in the year 1848. In 1848 Harold joined the Royal Guard of the King of Bavaria where he would serve for twenty years. During this period he participated in the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War. He was injured in Kissingen. At the end of his military career, Harold was sent on a trip to the coast of Spain and Morocco, to study the local insect fauna. After his retirement from the Royal Guard, Harold devoted his time fully to entomology. One of the major contributions by Harold was the ''Catalogus Coleopterorum'', which he co-authored with his friend Max Gemminger ...

Beetle
Beetles are insects that form the Taxonomic rank, order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Holometabola. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described arthropods and 25% of all known animal species; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. However, the number of beetle species is challenged by the number of species in Fly, dipterans (flies) and hymenopterans (wasps). Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ...

Carabidae
Ground beetles are a large, cosmopolitan family of beetles, the Carabidae, with more than 40,000 species worldwide, around 2,000 of which are found in North America and 2,700 in Europe. As of 2015, it is one of the 10 most species-rich animal families. They belong to the Adephaga. Members of the family are primarily carnivorous, but some members are herbivorous or omnivorous. Description and ecology Although their body shapes and coloring vary somewhat, most are shiny black or metallic and have ridged wing covers ( elytra). The elytra are fused in some species, particularly the large Carabinae, rendering the beetles unable to fly. The species '' Mormolyce phyllodes'' is known as violin beetle due to their peculiarly shaped elytra. All carabids except the quite primitive flanged bombardier beetles (Paussinae) have a groove on their fore leg tibiae bearing a comb of hairs used for cleaning their antennae.
