Jacob R. H. Neervoort van de Poll

Jacob Rudolph Hendrik Neervoort van de Poll (23 June 1862 in 's-Hertogenbosch – 12 December 1924 in Monaco) was a Dutch entomologist who specialised in Coleoptera.

He was the vice-president of Artis, the Amsterdam zoo; a member of the Netherlands Entomological Society and the Société entomologique de France.

The butterfly Troides vandepolli was named, by Samuel Constantinus Snellen van Vollenhoven, curator of the Leiden Museum, in his honour.

Neervoort van de Poll amassed a vast beetle collection, much of it purchased from the Paris insect dealers Auguste Sallé and Émile Deyrolle.

With the exception of a monograph on the Australian buprestid genus Astraeus C. et G.[3] he published mostly short papers describing new species of showy beetles in the families Buprestidae, Cerambycidae and Scarabaeidae either from his own collection or from those of the Leyden museum (now Naturalis or from the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle.
