Palisot De Beauvois
Ambroise Marie François Joseph Palisot, Baron de Beauvois (27 July 1752, in Arras – 21 January 1820, in Paris) was a French naturalist and zoologist. Palisot collected insects in Oware, Benin, Saint Domingue, and the United States, from 1786 to 1797. Trained as a botanist, Palisot published a significant entomological paper entitled, "Insectes Receuillis en Afrique et en Amerique". Together with Frederick Valentine Melsheimer, he was one of the first entomologists to collect and describe American insects. He described many common insects and suggested an ordinal classification of insects. He described many Scarabaeidae as well as illustrating them for the first time. The study included 39 '' Scarabaeus'' species, 17 '' Copris'' species, 7 ''Trox'' species, 4 '' Cetonia'' and 4 ''Trichius'' species. Familiar beetles such as '' Canthon viridis'', '' Macrodactylus angustatus'' and '' Osmoderma scabra'' were first described by him. Many of the specimens that were labelled from ...
