Werner Hirschmann


Werner Hirschmann was a German acarologist.
In 1951 he earned a
doctorate from the University of Erlangen, with the thesis: "Subcorticale Parasitiformes und die Gattung Digamasellus Berlese 1905", but like many German acarologists, he earned a living as a high school biology teacher.
He described over 1400 taxa, but his methods of defining mite genera have not always been accepted.
