Biographical & Type Information - C Cachan, Pierre (Charles Julien) (b. 1923) - The majority of his specimens were deposited in MNHN, an occasional paratype was put in "IRSM" (= Institut de Recherche Scientifique de Madagascar), which may now be in the MNHN. In his 1952 work on Madagascar pentatomids, he always provided a list of localities, then he listed where the "Type" was deposited, and occasionally where a paratype was deposited (if different from the type), then at the beginning of the description, he would indicate what sexes he had to work with. But none of this was tied together. In many cases, it is impossible to tell from which of the localities the type came from, or even what the sex of the type was. Carayon, Jacques (b. Nov. 11, 1916, Toulouse, France; d. 1997) - Published many papers on wide variety of subjects; was an authority on the Anthocoridae and Reduviidae. Citation: Slater (1997).
