COLLENETTE, Cyril Leslie

Submitted by admin on
Well known Lepidopterist and Ornithologist who travelled extensively and was much involved with both the Royal Entomological Society and the British Entomological and Natural History Society. I have not seen any specific references to his collecting beetles but T. James tells me that there are one or two specimens in the D.G.Hall collection in the North Hertfordshire Museums collection which bear his name. There are obituaries in EMM., 95, 1959, p.276 (by Cynthia Longfield); London Naturalist, 39, 1959, pp.136-138 (includes portrait) and Proc.RESL., 24(C), 1959-60, pp.52-53. (MD 3/02)
