<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"> 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. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I'm looking at a paper about a beautiful species of large fly just described:
<i>Gauromydas papavero</i>. 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?<o:p></o:p></p>
