Jean-Guillaume Audinet-Serville
Jean-Guillaume Audinet-Serville (born November 11, 1775 in Paris , † March 27, 1858 in La Ferté-sous-Jouarre ) was a French entomologist .
Life
Audinette-Serville's family lost all of their fortune during the French Revolution . To support the family, Jean-Guillaume Audinet-Serville worked in the coal trade. Here he made the acquaintance of Marin Grostête-Tigny, the director's wife. She was an author, corresponded with many well-known entomologists and encouraged Audinette-Serville to collect and study insects. Audinette-Serville married in July 1809 and had three children with his wife Marie Louise Pierrette Delavaquerie before she died in 1818.
Act
A year before the death of Ambroise Marie François Joseph Palisot de Beauvois (1752-1820), he was asked by Pierre André Latreille to complete his work. Hence the fifteenth and final part of Palisot de Beauvois' Insectes recueillis en Afrique et en Amerique was written by Audinette-Serville and published in 1819. The Encyclopédie méthodique by Guillaume-Antoine Olivier , who died in 1814, was completed in 1825 by Audinet-Serville, Latreille and Louis-Michel Le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau with the publication of the 10th volume. Also with Le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau, he wrote the work Le partie qui a paru des insectes de la Faune Française in 1830 . From 1831 Audinette-Serville began to publish his own studies, first a treatise on the genus Pirates from the group of Schnabelkerfe (Hemiptera) and then the article Revue méthodique de l'ordre des orthoptères on grasshoppers and praying mantises . Both works appeared in the Annales des Sciences Naturelles . In 1839 Audinette-Serville published Histoire naturelle des Insectes Orthoptères, a supplementary volume in the Suites à Buffon series edited by Nicolas Roret (1797-1860) . After Audinette-Serville's death, his insect collection was split up. His Neuroptera collection was acquired from Edmond de Selys-Longchamps , his Hemiptera collection from Victor Antoine Signoret (1816–1889).
Memberships
When La Société Cuvierienne was founded in 1838 , he was one of the 140 founding members of the society.
