José María Hugo de la Fuente Morales (1 April 1855 – 21 June 1932) was a Spanish entomologist.
During breaks in these studies, he sent an insect, identified by him as Pycnogaster graellsi (an orthopteran in the subfamily Bradyporinae), to Ignacio Bolivar Urrutia, professor of entomology at the Central University, Madrid [es].
Urrutia, after confirming Morales's accurate identification, sent him three trays of insects to encourage him in his investigations and to identify new species that he might find.
There he dedicated himself to adding to his collection of reptiles and amphibians and composed a booklet of poetry that is conserved in the Museum of Ciudad Real.
Finally he fulfilled his great desire, expressed in his poetry, to return as a priest to his town, Pozuelo de Calatrava, where he was assigned permanently.
