Berthold Neumoegen

Berthold Neumoegen (November 19, 1845 – January 21, 1895) was a German-born American stock-market investor and amateur entomologist who specialized in the Lepidoptera.

Neumoegen (German orthography: Neumögen) was born in Frankfurt-am-Main where he was educated and known for his fluency in six languages.

He collected butterflies and moths from around 1874 and collaborated with entomologists like Harrison Dyar and Herman Strecker.

He died from a long drawn tuberculosis infection (consumption).

[2][3] A species of hesperiid, Agathymus neumoegeni was named after him by Henry Edwards in 1882.
