Charles Howard Curran
Charles Howard Curran (20 March 1894 – 23 January 1972) was a Canadian entomologist who specialised in Diptera. Curran's main taxonomic interests were in brachyceran flies, particularly the flower flies Syrphidae, in which he described 723 species. From 1922 to 1928 he worked as a specialist service in Diptera Entomology of Canada. In 1928, he was hired by the American Museum of Natural History as Assistant Curator and, from 1947 until his retirement in 1960, as Curator of Insects and Spiders. In 1931, he donated his collection to that institution: it has 10,000 specimens representing about 1,700 species including 400 types. He received in 1933 a Doctorate of Science at the University of Montreal with a thesis entitled The Families and Genera of North American Diptera. He was vice-president of the New York Entomological Society The New York Entomological Society was founded in 1892. The Brooklyn Entomological Society merged with the Society in 1968.

Copestylum Pictum
''C. haagii'' ''Copestylum'' is one of the largest genera of hoverflies in the Americas. It comprises more than 300 species, of which only four have been found outside the Americas, having probably been introduced by the importation of cacti in which the larvae live. Taxonomy Subgenera and type species The following is a list of the subgenera within ''Copestylum'', with just the type species of each subgenus listed afterwards. * Subgenus ''Copestylum'' Macquart, 1846 – type ''Copestylum flaviventre'' Macquart, 1846 * Subgenus ''Phalacromyia'' Rondani, 1848 – type ''Copestylum submetallicum'' ( Rondani, 1848) * Subgenus ''Glaurotricha'' Thomson, 1869 – type ''Copestylum muscarium'' (Thomson, 1869) * Subgenus ''Atemnocera'' Bigot, 1882a – type ''Copestylum scutellatum'' ( Macquart, 1842) * Subgenus ''Apophysophora'' Williston, 1888 – type ''Copestylum trituberculatum'' Thomson, 1976 * Subgenus ''Megametopon (= Ophromyia)'' Giglio-Tos, 1891 – type ''Copestylum ...

Christian Rudolph Wilhelm Wiedemann
Christian Rudolph Wilhelm Wiedemann (7 December 1770 in Brunswick – 31 December 1840 in Kiel) was a German physician, historian, naturalist and entomologist. He is best known for his studies of world Diptera, but he also studied Hymenoptera and Coleoptera, although far less expertly. Biography Wiedemann’s father, Conrad Eberhard Wiedemann (1722–1804) was an art dealer and his mother, Dorothea Frederike (née Raspe) (1741–1804) was the daughter of an accountant in the Royal Mining Service and also interested in the arts. After his education in Brunswick, he matriculated in 1790 to the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Jena where he was a contemporary of the poet Friedrich von Hardenberg. While attending university, Wiedemann, was one of the many pupils of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, and travelled to Saxony and Bohemia. He obtained his doctoral degree in 1792 with a thesis entitled ''Dissertatio inauguralis sistens vitia gennus humanum debilitantia''. He th ...

Günther Enderlein
Günther Enderlein (7 July 1872 – 11 August 1968) was a German zoologist, entomologist, microbiologist, researcher, physician for 60 years, and later a manufacturer of pharmaceutical products. Enderlein received international renown for his insect research, and in Germany became famous due to his concept of the pleomorphism of microorganisms and his hypotheses about the origins of cancer, based on the work of other scientists. His hypotheses about pleomorphism and cancer have now been disproved by science and have only some historical importance today . Some of his concepts, however, are still popular in alternative medicine. A blood test is named after him: ''dark field microscopy according to Enderlein''. Life Enderlein was born in Leipzig, the son of a teacher. He studied in Leipzig and Berlin and got his PhD in 1898 as a zoologist. He became professor in 1924. First he worked as assistant at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, and went later to Stettin, now Szczecin in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
