DUPRE, Charles C.

Submitted by admin on

C.W.Waterhouse's Localities volume in the RSM mentions that he collected with Dupre. Dupre's collection is now in Bolton Museum as part of the Mason collection (identifiable by small white labels). Hancock and Pettitt (1981) record that it includes some 3,000 specimens collected mainly in the South East in the period 1871-78, together with a MS Register of Coleoptera, with code numbers, which enables specimens from other collectors to be identified. About 500 specimens from J. Scott, G.R.Crotch, R. Lawson, Power and Janson are included. Simms (1968) records material in the W.C.Hey collection at York. Dupre lived at 35A Russell Road, Kensington, London. (MD 9/02, 12/21)
