Well known Lepidopterist. During the course of his collecting, particularly in Central America he also took Coleoptera. The NHM acquired 42 specimens from Panama which he had collected by purchase from Janson in April 1871 (71.12), and Smith (1986) p.116, records that a bottle of Lepidopterous and Coleopterous larvae which he took at Chiriqui was acquired by the HDO in 1886. It is possible that Coleoptera may also be included in the collection of insects from Borneo acquired by the HDO in 1899. (MD 9/02)
