[1] Steyskal was also interested in botany and was known for his work on the Tephritidae and Agromyzidae where a knowledge of the host plants was particularly useful.
He revised the genus Dictya and his publications included 446 papers which described among others 4 new subfamilies, and 24 new genera.
He was knowledgeable in Latin, Greek, European languages apart from studying some Arabic and Japanese and contributed numerous translations.
His knowledge of Latin and Greek was particularly useful for scientific nomenclature and he was consulted by many entomologists of his time.
