Jarosław Łomnicki

Son of the paleontologist Marian Łomnicki, he succeeded as curator of the Dzieduszycki Museum in Lviv.

His father was involved in museum work and as a young boy he too was introduced to it and travelled on collection trips into Galicia.

He qualified the teacher's exam of the University of Vienna (1897) and taught at the Krakow Gymnasium and at Kolomyia.

He also collected insects and worked on the Formicidae, Coleoptera, and fossil Foraminifera from the Miocene period.

[1][2] Łomnicki published nearly 45 papers, describing nearly 700 new insect species, and was a member of the Copernicus Society where he began an entomological section.
