Francisque Guillebeau (1821, Lyon – 1897) was a French entomologist, specializing in Coleoptera.
A farmer by trade, he also spent twelve years serving as a justice of the peace.
In Lyon, he had as influences; entomologists Antoine Foudras and Étienne Mulsant, with whom he published several papers on Coleoptera.
For many years he abandoned entomological work,[1] resuming these activities later on in life as he conducted collection excursions in France, Switzerland and Austria.
[3][4] Guillebeau is the taxonomic authority of numerous species of beetles, as well as the circumscriber of several genera; e.g. Tinodemus, Podocesus, Nesiotus, Entomocnemus and Ochrodemus.
