Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville

Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville, also known as F. E. Guerin, (12 October 1799, in Toulon – 26 January 1874, in Paris) was a French entomologist.

[1] Cuvier was delighted with the work, saying that it would be very useful to readers, and that the illustrations were "as accurate as they were elegant".

He was editor of Dictionnaire Pittoresque d’Histoire Naturelle, published in Paris 1836–1839.

Guérin-Méneville was elected president of the Société Entomologique de France for the year 1846.

Guérin-Méneville is commemorated in the scientific names of dozens of genera and species of insects and other organisms, including at least one snake.
