Ferdinand Le Cerf

Ferdinand Le Cerf was a French entomologist who specialised in Lepidoptera.
He was a préparateur or technician in the entomological laboratories of Muséum [national d'histoire naturelle] in Paris. He wrote three volumes on Lepidoptera in the Encyclopedie Entomologique and many scientific papers in the Bulletin of the Société entomologique [de France] of which he was a member.
A room within the Paris Museum was until recently dedicated to him, but was disassembled in the 2010s.
