Victor Ivanovitsch Motschulsky (Sometimes Victor von Motschulsky, , 11 April 1810 in St. Petersburg – 5 June 1871 in Simferopol) was a Russian entomologist mainly interested in beetles. Motschulsky was an Imperial Army colonel who undertook extended trips abroad. He studied and described many new beetles from Siberia, Alaska, the United States of America, Europe, and Asia. While he tended to ignore previous work and his own work on classification was of poor quality, Motschulsky made a massive contribution to entomology, exploring hitherto unworked regions, often in very difficult terrain. He described many new genera and species, a high proportion of which remain valid. ==Travels== Motschulsky’s travels included: 1836 - France, Switzerland and the Alps, northern Italy and Austria 1839-1840 - Russian Caucasus, Astrakhan, Kazan and Siberia 1847 - Khirgizia 1850-1851 - Germany, Austria, Egypt, India, France, England, Belgium and Dalmatia 1853 - United States of America, Panama, returning to St. Petersburg via Hamburg, Kiel and Copenhagen 1853 - Germany, Switzerland and Austria 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Victor Motschulsky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
