List of the taxa he created

The list of 95 new names which he created is published on the web.

Among them are several new species of Cyclommatus which were never the object of a publication. In fact the author prepared a revision of the genus to appear in a volume of the series of The Beetles of the World, almost totality of photos had been realized by Guy Bouloux. A heart attack at the age of 51 ended this project.

Another work in preparation was a fauna of the Stag beetles of the island of Sumatra, thanks to the numerous sendings of specimens captured on the spot by Dr Eduard W . Diehl.
