Paiva, Charles A. (b. 1878; d. 1919) - Some work on aquatic and semi-aquatic Heteroptera. Collection in the Zool. Survey of India, Calcutta.

Palisot de Beauvois, Ambroise Marie François Joseph (b. 1752; d. 1820) - Horn et al. (1990) indicates that some of his Coleoptera collection went via Dejean to the Museum of Natural History, London (BMNH), but no mention is made of his Heteroptera specimens. Palisot de Beauvois did not designate types, and in most cases it is impossible to tell how many specimens he had when the descriptions were made; in a few cases, he lists multiple localities thus indicating that he had more than one specimen. So, in nearly all cases, the types should be considered to be STS until LT designations are made. Caution also should be used in determining the type locality of various species; there are many strictly New World species cited from Oware [Nigeria], and strictly Old World species cited from Saint-Domingue [Haiti]; also some of the species cited from Saint-Domingue [Haiti] are actually confined to North America or South America. Griffin (1937) and Menke (1963) give information on publication dates of some papers.
