Max Liebke (12 February 1892 – 1945)[2][3] was a German entomologist, who researched ground beetles.
He wrote in a journal called Entomologischer Anzeiger, describing beetles that he discovered.
[3] In 1932 Liebke gifted 5,344 beetle specimens to the Zoological Museum in Hamburg.
[6] Liebke's carabidae collection was partially destroyed during World War II, but some specimens survived and were moved to the collections of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw.
[7] Liebke also described species from material loaned to him by other scientists, including beetles later returned to Ferdinand Nevermann (1881-1938) whose collection is now at the Smithsonian Museum.
