Jacques Aubert (entomologist)

Jacques F. Aubert (1916, Lausanne – 1995, Lutry) was a Swiss entomologist.

Career[]

He specialised in Plecoptera and Ichneumonidae. He described more than 600 ichneumonid taxa, mostly originated from the Alps and the Mediterranean region. His collection of taxa was further used by other taxonomists of the same field.^[1]

The Musée de Zoologie in Lausanne, Switzerland, acquired the first part of Aubert's collection in 1983.^[2] The second part followed between 1991 and 2008.

He died in Lutry, Switzerland on August 4, 1995.^[2]
