[Nhcoll-l] E.R Wagner: Insect collector

[Shippee, Jodi]

Whenever a question like this comes up I wonder, isn’t there a shared database of collector biographical data? Even in Wikipedia (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__en.wikipedia.org_wiki_Category-3ANatural-5Fhistory-5Fcollectors&d=AwIGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=fbKSsuF19BrG00x8WyfF1tUNJE9L6NWix71pX3MJnaU&s=HItwwB2g12b6PLoTHCQttcsAZc96-6y5Sy1WwJ24BDo&e=  or https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__en.wikipedia.org_wiki_Category-3AZoological-5Fcollectors-29-3F&d=AwIGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=fbKSsuF19BrG00x8WyfF1tUNJE9L6NWix71pX3MJnaU&s=e1iYG1yVCmkyucTtrlrQ0clyHXzNHluGH435WC07qRM&e= 

By the way, Emilio Roger Wagner is in VIAF (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__viaf.org_viaf_23557943_-23skos-3AConcept&d=AwIGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=fbKSsuF19BrG00x8WyfF1tUNJE9L6NWix71pX3MJnaU&s=xJTV23hKsMfhitQ_5783uq5vUE6Gf2O--rrkv1pjf8c&e= ) (via Library of Congress Authority file https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__id.loc.gov_authorities_names_n84239804.html&d=AwIGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=fbKSsuF19BrG00x8WyfF1tUNJE9L6NWix71pX3MJnaU&s=aT5B0FW6EbfM95bBfIeRETGmjH8jeb_ldnGwG1n9koc&e= , and others) but I wouldn’t guess it’s a reliable source of this information unless the person has either published or been the subject of a publication, which would leave many collectors out.

Anyone here involved in such efforts?

Ever wondering,
Jodi Shippee

Hi,
  E.R. Wagner is almost certainly Emilio Roger Wagner, who was an Argentinian archaeologist, who also had a passion for entomology.  He was active in that period and died in 1949. Here is a wiki on him and his brother Duncan.

Hi Friends,
I'm looking at a paper about a beautiful species of large fly just described: Gauromydas papavero. A great species with a long shelf life. It was first collected in Argentina in 1930-something by a collector called E.R. Wagner. I've searched for him and he's collected an awful lot of stuff, 1903, 1911, active for decades in South America. But I don't have any biographical information at all. Don't know what E or R stand for, or where he was from, or when he died. Anything, folks?
