Metaxyonycha Octosignata
''Metaxyonycha'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. Taxonomy ''Metaxyonycha'' was first named by Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat in 1836, with the spelling "''Metazyonycha''", in Dejean's ''Catalogue of Coleoptera''. According to Bousquet and Bouchard in 2013, ''Metaxyonycha'' is an incorrect subsequent spelling of ''Metazyonycha''. However, because the subsequent spelling is in prevailing usage and is attributed to the original spelling's publication, "''Metaxyonycha''" is considered the correct spelling. In some publications for the Neotropical realm, ''Metaxyonycha'' is also known as "'' Colaspis''". This was because the Czech entomologist Jan Bechyné had synonymised ''Metaxyonycha'' with ''Colaspis'', after incorrectly assuming the two had the same type species, while splitting the species of ''Colaspis'' listed in the ''Coleopterorum Catalogus'' (a beetle catalog edited by Wilhelm Junk and Sigmund Schenkling) into a separate genus known as "''Maecola ...

Émile Blanchard
Charles Émile Blanchard (6 March 1819 – 11 February 1900) was a French zoologist and entomologist. Career Blanchard was born in Paris. His father was an artist and naturalist and Émile began natural history very early in life. When he was 14 years old, Jean Victoire Audouin (1797—1841), allowed him access to the laboratory of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle. In 1838, he became a technician or ''préparateu''r in this then, as now, famous institution. In 1841, he became assistant-naturalist. He accompanied Henri Milne-Edwards (1800—1885) and Jean Louis Armand de Quatrefages de Breau (1810—1892) to Sicily on a marine zoology expedition. He published, in 1845 a ''Histoire des insectes'', or History of the insects and, in 1854—1856 ''Zoologie agricole'' or Agricultural Zoology. This last work is remarkable: it presents in a precise way the harmful or pest species and the damage they cause to various crop plants. This work was illustrated by his father. Bl ...

Transactions Of The Entomological Society Of London
The Royal Entomological Society is a learned society devoted to the study of insects. It aims to disseminate information about insects and to improve communication between entomologists. The society was founded in 1833 as the Entomological Society of London. It had many antecedents beginning as the Society of Entomologists of London. History The foundation of the society began with a meeting of "gentlemen and friends of entomological science", held on 3 May 1833 in the British Museum convened by Nicholas Aylward Vigors with the presidency of John George Children. Those present were the Reverend Frederick William Hope, Cardale Babington, William Yarrell, John Edward Gray, James Francis Stephens, Thomas Horsfield, George Thomas Rudd and George Robert Gray. Letters of Adrian Hardy Haworth, George Bennett and John Curtis were read where they expressed their regrets to be unable to attend the meeting.
