HAWKINS, Charles N.

Primarily a Lepidopterist but H.E.Hinton in a short obituary in Proc. RESL, 35 (C), 1970, 53, mentions that he also interested himself in Coleoptera and implies that he published on them in the Society's journals and elsewhere between 1925 and 1926. In fact Hawkins’ first publication on Coleoptera, as far as I am aware, was to introduce Atheta brisouti to the British list in Ent., 81, 1949, p.53. The only other article he wrote on beetles was on Anthicidae from the High Simien district of northern Ethiopia in Journal LSL, Zoo., 43, 1956, 109-110.

'Cossonus linearis' (16, 1858, p.6150); 'Carabidae in the Isle of Sheppey', (16, 1858, pp.6251-6252); 'Emus hirtus in the Isle of Sheppey' (17, 1859, p.6737); and 'Occurrence of Ammoecius brevis at Southport and notes on other Coleoptera' (19, 1861, pp.7367-7368). There is a short obituary in EMM, 7, 1870, p.66, which mentions that he was 'well known amongst Coleopterists, and universally respected for his genial and thoroughly unassuming disposition.

Published 'On the Coleoptera infesting granaries' in Natural History Review, 1855, pp.14-15. Is this perhaps the same J. Haughton mentioned by Johnson and Halbert (1902) p.143? (MD 3/03)

HARWOOD, William Henry

Born at Colchester in Essex and educated at the Royal Grammar School there before being apprenticed to Messrs Smith and Shenstone, chemists. After completing his indentures he decided to take up entomology full time and devoted himself mainly to the Lepidoptera. His interest in Coleoptera started in the early 1880s when he also became interested in Hymenoptera-Aculeata, which became his favourite group. Later he took up other orders too, devoting much attention to species of economic importance in particular.
