Henri d'Orbigny

Henri-Joseph d'Orbigny (16 May 1845, Paris – 29 June 1915, Paris) was a French architect and entomologist, son of the traveller and paleontologist Alcide d'Orbigny (1802-1857).

From 1864 he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts, where he was a pupil of Honoré Daumet (1826-1911).

As an architect he built the Musée d'Orbigny-Bernon in La Rochelle.

His best known written work was Synopsis des Onthophagides d'Afrique (1913), published in the Annales de la Société Entomologique de France.
