>Dear all,
>I have some questions related to the life and work of a German amateur
>Lepidoteriologist Theodor Reuss (in some papers FAT Reuss).
>I do not work with lepidoptera, but with Vipers, and because my thesis
>is on systematics, I needed to go through the types designated by this
>guy. He was a truth freak when talking about his works on vipers,
>described more than 50 forms only from Europe, and as I see he had a
>somehow similar working method with Lepidoptera as well. As, no one
>ewer wrote anything about this guy in a herpetetological perspective,
>I wish to write a small note about his life, works  and make a
>publication list as well. The list with his herpetological papers is
>almost complete, and I was thinking about to write a few lines about
>his other works as well, might be make a list of these too.
>
>I did not found to much about him up to now, I now only that he was
>born in 1873 lived and sometimes worked on the collection of the
>Museum in Berlin. He donated/soled material to this museum.
>
>Does any of you knows anything about him? When did he worked, when did
>he died, might be knows about a necrolog, or any paper about him in an
>entomological journal?
>
>My other question is related to his works: I searched the site
>http://www.funet.fi/pub/sci/bio/life/insecta/lepidoptera for names by
>Reuss and found quite many.
>
>Could any of you send me the correct citation of these works?
