Contributions

During his career, Heinrich developed a standardized system of taxa description which facilitates taxa identification and comparative analysis. He is the author of 4 major publications on Ichneumonidae, 4 popular travelogues, 93 smaller but significant publications on Ichneumoninae, 3 publications on European mammals, 3 publications on the biology of the birds of Angola, and 2 publications on the systematics of the birds of Angola, coauthored with

Heinrich also wrote travelogues about his expeditions to Celebes (1932), Burma (1940), and Persia (1933). The Heinrich collections are curated in Warsaw (C. G. H.
