Adalbert Fenyes

Adalbert Fényes (17 November 1863 – 22 February 1937) was a Hungarian-born American physician who introduced the X-ray machine to Pasadena, California.

In his spare time, he was a keen collector of insect specimens and took an interest in gardening and breeding of new flower varieties.

He was educated at the University of Vienna and trained in neurology before becoming an army physician in the court of Franz Joseph.

He was made an honorary member of the American Medical Society for his pioneering work in this field.

After 1905, he became especially interested in the staphylinid subfamily Aleocharinae and attempted to use aleocharine beetles for control of pests in citrus orchards.
