Philip James Barraud

Philip James Barraud (1879–1948) was an English entomologist who specialised in mosquitoes. He worked in Iraq and then in India at the Central Malaria Bureau, which was established at Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh, India in 1909. Here he invented the Barraud cage (a box of made of muslin or organdie suspended on a wire frame placed inside insulators containing wet towels) for the transport and study of live mosquitoes.^[1] Barraud described many new genera and species of Culicidae. His collection, which included Palearctic Lepidoptera is in the Natural History Museum. The genus Barraudius Edwards, F.W., 1921 is named for him.^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5]
