Ignaz Rudolph Schiner
Ignaz Rudolph Schiner , called Rudolph (* 17th April 1813 in Fronsburg , Horn, Austria, † 6. July 1873 in Vienna ) was an Austrian entomologist specializing in Diptera (Diptera).
His main occupation was a lawyer, first in the Ministry of Agriculture and then in the Ministry of Finance in Vienna. He had a doctorate.
He published an overview of the two-winged in Germany and Austria as well as a catalog of the two-winged Europe and edited the two-winged of the Novara expedition from 1857 to 1859. His collection is in the Natural History Museum Vienna. Many first descriptions come from him.
In 1854 he classified insects living in caves according to their dependence on their environment.
