TAYLOR, John

Johnson (2004) records a collection at Manchester of 2,440 specimens collected by Taylor which was accessioned in 1958. It includes Ptiliidae, Staphylinidae, Pselaphidae and Scydmaenidae and incorporates material from R.W.Lloyd. There are also Coleoptera bearing this name in the general collection at Birmingham Museum (numbered 2.2.61). There is an obituary of a John Taylor in ERJV., 32, 1920, p.194, but I am not sure if this is the same person. (MD 12/04)
