Eugène Louis Bouvier

Eugène Louis Bouvier (9 April 1856 in Saint-Laurent-en-Grandvaux – 14 January 1944 in Paris) was a French entomologist and carcinologist.

Following graduation at the normal school in Lons-le-Saunier, he taught classes in Clairvaux, Versailles, Saint-Cloud, and Villefranche-sur-Saône.

From 1882 to 1887, he served as a boursier at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, where he studied with Alphonse Milne-Edwards (1835–1900) and Edmond Perrier (1844–1921).

In 1889, he became an associate professor at the Ecole supérieure de pharmacie de Paris, and in 1895, he attained a professorship of natural history (chair of "articulated animals"; starting in 1917, it was referred to as the chair of entomology) at the muséum.

Bouvier maintained the chair of entomology until 1931, when he was succeeded by René Jeannel (1879–1965).
