| The Works of Armand d'Orchymont |
|
|
Armand d'Orchymont (1881-1947), one of (if not the) greatest hydrophilid systematists of all time, published hundreds of taxonomic papers and was the leading authority on the group for decades until his death. While a number of his later works were in English, the majority of his papers are in his native French. In the 1970s, Paul Spangler, curator of beetles at the Smithsonian Institution (now retired), had many of these French works "officially" translated into English through a service then available in Tunisia. These typed and edited translations even have many (But not all) of the original figures copied and pasted in the appropriate place in the text. Effort is underway to convert these one-of-a-kind documents into PDFs. Twelve such PDFs are available below. The paper on which many of these works are typed is of very poor quality (onion skin in some cases) and exceedingly fragile, so the process is slow in some cases. |
