JENNER, James Herbert Augustus

Submitted by admin on
Born in Battle and died in Lewes. Appears from his list of publications to have been mainly interested in Lepidoptera but he did write three articles on beetles: 'Claviger foveolatus at Lewes' in EMM., 21, 1884, p.36; 'Apion pomonae and Polydrusus undatus in cop.', ibid., and 'Heptaulacus villosus near Lewes', ibid., 25, 1889, pp.383-384. Coleoptera collected by Jenner are in the Booth Museum (information from P. Hodge), the Hall Collection at Oldham, to which he was a major contributor (information from Simon Hayhow). In 1895 he gave six rare Coleoptera from Sussex to the HDO (Smith (1986) p.129). There is a brief biography by R.Adkin in Ent., 57, 1924, p.215, which I have not seen. (MD 8/03)
