Abstract

A brief biography of a little-known Hanoverian entomologist, Johann Dietrich Herschel (1755–1827), is given. The more important events of his life, his entomological interests, and his relationships to other entomologists are covered. Included is a table of the species of beetles known to have been described from his collection by several entomologists of the late-18th and early-19th centuries.
