Francis Walker (entomologist)
Francis Walker (31 July 1809 – 5 October 1874) was an English entomologist. He was born in Southgate, London, on 31 July 1809 and died at Wanstead, England on 5 October 1874. He was one of the most prolific authors in entomology, and stirred controversy during his later life as his publications resulted in a huge number of junior synonyms. However, his assiduous work on the collections of the British Museum had great significance. Between June 1848 and late 1873 Walker was contracted by John Edward Gray Director of the British Museum to catalogue their insects (except Coleoptera) that is Orthoptera, Neuroptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera. Walker largely accomplished this and (Edwards, 1870) wrote of the plan and by implication those who implemented it “It is to him raythat the Public owe the admirable helps to the study of natural history which have been afforded by the series of inventories, guides, and nomenclatures, the publication of which ...

Luceria Fletcheri
Luceria is an ancient city in the northern Apennines, located in the comune of Canossa in the Province of Reggio Emilia, on the right bank of the river Enza. Toponym The name might derive from ''lucus'', which means "sacred grove". It is not clear if this was the proper name of the city or if it was called ''Nuceria''. The little stream which separates Canossa from San Polo d'Enza is still called the ''Rio Luceria'' today. The name of this stream is fairly old as it appears in the 1364 property records of Azzo da Correggio as ''Rivum Luxerae''. The Egyptian astronomer and mathematician Claudius Ptolemy (85-165 AD) describes the position of the city with great precision in his '' Geographia'', indicating the latitude and longitude according to the system he invented, but he calls it Nuceria. However, Luceria is the best-attested and most used name, even in official documents. History Luceria probably arose as a mercantile centre in the 4th century BC. It was locat ...
