Son of the Rev. Thomas William Daltry (1832-1904) of Madeley Vicarage, Newcastle, Staffordshire. Educated at Marlborough College. Joined the staff of the London and North Western Railway Works at Crewe as a locomotive designer and tester. After retiring he moved to Rugby where he died. Daltry's interest in entomology began with Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera and is recorded to have been first stimulated when he was at Marlborough by Edward Meyrick, although his father, who was also an entomologist, must presumably have been an influence too.

Born in London. His systematic work was entirely confined to the Hemiptera, but he did write a popular work Elements of Entomology, 1857, which has chapters on beetles. As the editor of Popular Science Review and ANMNH he also promoted Coleoptera, particularly in the latter as the translator and compiler of abstracts of important foreign publications. Dallas also translated Von Siebold's Parthenogenesis from the German in 1858 when it was looked upon not just as physically impossible but also as vastly heretical, and Fritz Muller's Fur Darwin.

A Doctor. Collected insects including Coleoptera for the Imperial Bureau of Entomology in Argentina which were given to the NHM in 1928 (1928.170) FRES from 1948. (MD 3/03) (MD 5/02)
