Author of the well known Instructions for Collecting, Rearing and Preserving British and Foreign Insects..., 1827, 1839, 1843, 1849, and also of the Entomologists Guide, 1824, 1839. The 1827 edition of the Instructions includes a list of one hundred or so Coleoptera as new to the British list, thus pre-dating their appearance in Stephens (1828 and later). Ingall's shorter publications included one concerning beetles 'Notes upon the economy of Brachinus crepitans and Sirex duplex' in Proc.ESL., 1839, p.82. There are various references in Stephens (1828) eg. '20 April 1827. My friend Mr Ingpen has this day shown me a second specimen of C[incidela] riparia captured near Manchester' (p.10). Ingpen presented an example of a Paussus from Adelaide, Australia to the NHM in 1849 (1849/31). He died in Chelsea. Gilbert (1977) p.185 mentions two obituaries Proc.ESL., 3, 1854, pp.50-51 (by E. Newman) and Proc. Linn. Soc. Lond., 2, 1855, p.425-26, which I have not seen. (MD 6/03)
