Anterhynchium Mephisto
''Anterhynchium'' is an Afrotropical, Indomalayan, Australian and Palearctic genus of potter wasps. As in many species of wasp, female wasps defend against predation using a modified ovipositor to sting predators. Like some other wasps in the Vespidae family, male wasps can produce a "pseudo-sting" with two sharp spines on either side of their genitals; however, unlike in the females, this "sting" is venomless. Species The following species are classified within the genus ''Anterhynchium'': *'' Anterhynchium abdominale'' (Illiger, 1802) *'' Anterhynchium aestuans'' Saussure, 1863 *'' Anterhynchium alecto'' ( Lepeletier, 1841) *'' Anterhynchium andreanum'' (de Saussure, 1890) *'' Anterhynchium argenteopilosellum'' ( Giordani Soika, 1937) *'' Anterhynchium astrophilum'' Giordani Soika, 1996 *'' Anterhynchium auromaculatum'' (de Saussure, 1852) *'' Anterhynchium basimacula'' (Cameron, 1897) *'' Anterhynchium bugandanum'' Giordani Soika, 1987) *''Anterhynchium cariosum'' Giord ...

Antonio Giordani Soika
Antonio Giordani Soika (9 May 1913 – 2 January 1997) was an Italian entomologist, ecologist and director of the Civic Museum of Natural History of Venice (''Museo Civico di Storia Naturale''). He had a long career in which he worked on various groups of insects but much of his work was on the Hymenoptera. He made great contributions to the knowledge of Neotropical wasps, especially potter wasps for which he produced many taxonomic keys and also monographs on the systematics of the wasp family Vespidae The Vespidae are a large (nearly 5000 species), diverse, cosmopolitan family of wasps, including nearly all the known eusocial wasps (such as '' Polistes fuscatus'', '' Vespa orientalis'', and ''Vespula germanica'') and many solitary wasps.

Frederick Smith (entomologist)
Frederick Smith (30 December 1805 – 16 February 1879) was a British entomologist who worked at the zoology department of the British Museum from 1849, specialising in the Hymenoptera. Smith was born near York to William Smith and went to school at Leeds. He then studied under landscape engraver William Bernard Cooke, W.B. Cooke along with his nephew William Edward Shuckard. Together they took an interest in insects, especially the ants and bees. In 1841, following the death of William Bainbridge, he became a curator of the collections and the library of the Entomological Society of London. As an engraver he produced copies based on the works of Turner, Constable and David Roberts. He also worked with Gray arranging Hymenoptera in the British Museum. In 1849 he succeeded Edward Doubleday as a member of the zoologicy department. He then gave up his art work but produced the plates for Wollaston's ''Insecta Maderensia'' (1854) and for papers in the Transactions of the Entomologic ...

Jacobus Van Der Vecht
Jacobus van der Vecht (5 July 1906 – 15 March 1992), nicknamed Jaap, was a Dutch entomologist who specialised in Hymenoptera, especially those of the East Indies and New Guinea. Early life Van der Vecht was born in The Hague on 5 July 1906. His father, the Master of the Wine Cellars at the court of the then Queen Dowager of the Netherlands, Emma of Waldeck and Pyrmont, had an interest in natural history and reared butterflies as a hobby. He enjoyed taking his sons on walks to study nature and this encouraged a passion for biology in Jacobus. Van der Vecht left school in The Hague and enrolled to study biology at the ''Rijksuniversiteit Leiden''. Here he began to study the Aculeate Hymenoptera especially the taxonomy of bees, concentrating on the large mining bee genus ''Andrena'' and the wasps in the family Sphecidae. He graduated with a master's degree in 1928. Career After graduating Van der Vecht took a position in the Dutch East Indies at the ''Instituut voor Plantenzie ...

Peter Cameron (entomologist)
Peter Cameron (1847 – 1 December 1912 in New Mills, Derbyshire) was an England, English amateur entomologist who specialised in Hymenoptera. An artist, Cameron worked in the dye industry and in Calico (textile), calico printing. He described many new species; his collection, including Type (biology), type material, is now in the Natural History Museum, London, Natural History Museum. He suffered from poor health and lack of employment. Latterly, he lived in New Mills and was supported by scholarships from the Royal Society. He loaned specimens to Jean-Jacques Kieffer, a teacher and Catholic priest in Bitche, Lorraine, who also named species after Cameron. Some of Cameron's taxonomic work is not very well regarded. Upon his death Claude Morley wrote, "Peter Cameron is dead, as was announced by most of the halfpenny papers on December 4th. What can we say of his life? Nothing; for it concerns us in no way. What shall we say of his work? Much, for it is entirely ours, and w ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
