Gaston Ruter
Gaston Ruter was a French entomologist.
He studied the Coleoptera Cetoniidae.
Life
A short notice was published by Paulian & Decarpentries.
As an entomologist, he was always interested in the Coleoptera fauna of France, of which he had a large collection, especially microcoleoptera, for which he accurately prepared the tiny genitalia.
He first studied the Curculionidae of the genus Bagous. Then, with the help of Bourgoin, his research became focused on the study of exotic Cetonids.
His collection is housed at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris.
Works
The list of his publications was given later by Menier.
There is one work missing.
He published relatively little compared to all of his discoveries. A number of taxa remained in litteris.
Reward
He was elected president of the Société entomologique de France in 1956.
