(1990), the Plataspidae, Cryptocerata, some Anthocoridae, some Belostomidae, and some Miridae are in the Museum of Natural History, London (BMNH), the Pyrrhocoridae went to Kirkaldy whose collection for the most part ended up at the Snow Museum, University of Kansas (SEMC), the Geocoridae went via Parshley to the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco (CASC); part of the remaining collection went to the Muzeul de Istoria Naturala "Grigore Antipa," Bucharest, Romania (MGAB). A few types located in the U.S. National Museum of Natural History (USNM) Apparently, a few pentatomid types are in the Hungarian National Collection (HNHM).

Montrouzier, Xavier (b. December 3, 1820; d. May 6, 1897) - Reverendus Pater Jean Xavier Hyacinthe Montrouzier was a French Marist priest, explorer, botanist, Zoologist, and entomologist; he studied the flora and fauna of Melanesia, especially New Caledonia.  Some of his Heteroptera collection went first to R. P. Perroud (a coleopterist), and then later to his son, M. Perroud.  According to Schouteden (1907), some of the non-beetle specimens were located in Perroud's kitchen cupboard.  These specimens were discovered and eventually sent to Schouteden for study.  Schouteden (1907) made the following statement concerning Montrouzier's types (my rought translation):  'Father Montrouzier's Hemiptera all seem to have had a bizarre destiny ... A part is probably lost, another is in the Dresden Museum [SMTD] (I don't know how it got there), and some species are in the Budapest Museum [HNHM]: according to what Dr. Horváth told me during a visit to my house two years ago, they were bought by him in the public square, in Montpellier.'  Schouteden, in his 1907 paper, enumerated the type specimens in this collection for at least 51 species, which the younger Perroud ended up donating to Schouteden.  Most of Schouteden's collection was deposited in the Musée Royal de l’Afrique Centrale, Tervuren, Belgium (MRAC), but it appears that all of Montrouzier's type specimens studied by Schouteden are now in the Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique, Belgium (ISNB).  Additionally, it appears that Montrouzier may have sent or traded some of his specimens with some of his colleagues.  Occasionally, Stål indicated examining type specimens for various Montrouzier species, and indicated that the specimens were deposited in in the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet, Sweden (NHRS) or the Signoret collection which is now in the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, Austria (NHMW); some of those in NHRS have been confirmed recently on their Museum's website.  So, some of Montrouzier's collection may be lost, some may be in the following museums: HNHM, ISNB, MRAC, NHMW, NHRS, SMTD.

Motschulsky, Victor Ivanovitsch (b. 1810; d. Jun. 5, 1871, Simferopol, Crimea, Russia) - He was a colonel in the Russian army. Motschulsky made extensive trips into many remote areas of Russia, and he published primarily on the Coleoptera collected during those trips. He also described many Lepidoptera, and has several important papers on the Heteroptera. Quote from Wallace (1871, but attributed to Bates): "Motschulsky has a reputation for carelessness and inaccuracy, for recklessness in introducing new classifications, and for ignoring the works of his predecessors. His genera and other new groups are often unintelligible; and it is therefore not improbable that his great labours as an author have been on the whole of more injury than benefit to the science to which he devoted himself." Most of Motschulsky’s collection is in the Zoological Museum, University of Moscow (ZMUM), although a few specimens may be at St. Petersburg (ZMAS); also Motschulsky sometimes sent STS to other museums (e.g. StDl at NHRS) for verification.

Müller, -

Mulsant, Martial Étienne (b. 1797; d. Nov. 4, 1880) - Primarily a coleopterist. In collaboration with C. Rey, published Histoire Naturelle des Punaises de France (1865-1879). According to Paulian (1944), Mulsant’s collection was left to his son, who was an amateur entomologist, and who worked at the Institution Saint Marie, Chamond (Loire). This is where most of his collection was deposited. However, some specimens, due to safety reasons, etc. have been transferred to the Paris Museum (MNHN).
