Philippe Cuénoud
Philippe Cuénoud (born July 8, 1968) is a Swiss entomologist and botanist living in Onex (near Geneva), who worked on the Psocoptera of Switzerland and Papua New Guinea, as well as on plant phylogeny. He found the only recently known population of '' Lachesilla rossica'' near Geneva (the species has been described from southern Russia and may still exist there) and contributed further to the knowledge of the flora and fauna of the canton of Geneva with the first mention of a slender-billed gullLionel Maumary, Laurent Vallotton, Peter Knaus, Simon Birrer (2007).
