Hans Henderickx

Hans Henderickx (1961–2016) was a Belgian entomologist specializing in Invertebrates born in Mol, Belgium.

Under the guidance of Dr Narcisse Leleup (Brussels, Belgium) he focused on invertebrate morphology and faunistics.

He authored 81 publications on invertebrate palaeontology, biospeleology and faunistics, many of them pivoting around his unrivaled skills in micro-photography.

Already in 2006 he published -as first one- a paper describing a new arachnid and its external and internal morphology with the novel application of X-ray micro-CT in opaque amber.

As researcher, he remained connected to the University Antwerp and the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, until his death in November 2016.
