Coleoptera from Northumberland bearing this name are represented in the D. G. Hall collection at Oldham Museum (information from Simon Hayhow). (MD 3/03)

Mentioned by Stephens (1828) pp.77, 176, and (1829) pp.88-89, as finding various Coleoptera in Berkshire, particularly at Lawrence Waltham, which was perhaps where he lived. (MD 3/03)

Well known Lepidopterist (worked on larvae in particular) who is not recorded to have had an interest in Coleoptera. It is worth noting , however, that as a member of the Amateur Entomologists Society in 1962 he listed his interests as Coleoptera and Lepidoptera. Hammond lived for much of his adult life in Birmingham. Gilbert (1977) lists three obituaries. (MD 3/03)

Well known entomologist who worked at the HDO. He is not known for an interest in beetles but it is worth recording that W.W.Fowler, in his introductory volume to the FBI series, notes that Hamm made a study of Cicindelid burrows. He is also recorded to have worked on the fauna of birds' and moles' nests, which presumably included Coleoptera. Gilbert (1977) lists five obituaries. (MD 3/03)

Born in Dover and educated at Queen Mary College, London University. Wrote his Ph.D. on 'A systematic and biological study of the genus Palorus Mulsant (sens. lat.)'. He worked in the Government laboratory at Slough from 1953 mainly on the biology and systematics of beetles associated with stored products. Halstead's particular specialisations within the Coleoptera are the Tenebrionidae (Palorus and Tribolium); Silvanidae (Silvaninae); Dermestidae (Attagenus) and the British Histeridae.
