A short notice was published by Paulian & Decarpentries[2] An amateur entomologist, he was always interested in the Coleoptera fauna of France, of which he had a large collection, especially microcoleoptera, for which he accurately prepared the tiny genitalia.
Then, with the help of Bourgoin, his research became focused on the study of exotic Cetonids.
His collection is housed at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris.
A number of taxa remained in litteris.
He was elected president of the Société entomologique de France in 1956.
