Johnson (2009) notes that he was born in Kingston, Surrey and died at Barnstable. And that he was a master at Wellington College 1904-1945 where his retirement notice ‘states that he was a keen natural historian and mathematician’, according to Guy Williams. He published 'Two Coleoptera new to Berkshire [Claviger longicornis Mull. and Anthicus tobias Mars.]' in EMM., 82, 1946, p.45, and 'Neuraphes planifrons Blatch and other species of the genus in Berkshire', ibid., 87, 1951, p. 93. The major part of Eustace's collections, including Lepidoptera and 20,000 specimens of Coleoptera were acquired by the Manchester Museum in 1958 via R.W. Lloyd. It is accompanied by a collecting notebook titled Notes on the Coleoptera in my collection taken by myself unless otherwise stated. Order as in Beare in Donisthorpe 1904 which covers the period 1912-1946, and by letters from other Coleopterists. Many of the specimens were taken in the area of the College and bear labels printed ‘Well. Coll.’ A smaller part, comprising 8,206 specimens, was donated to the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Coventry, by the Manchester Museum in 1962. (Information from Steve Lane). I have also seen specimens collected by Eustace in the general collection at Doncaster Museum and K.C. Lewis tells me that he has specimens in his collection. (MD 10/02, 12/06, 11/09)
