Dr André Peyriéras (December 11, 1927, in Saint Moreil (Le Monthioux), France – December 24, 2018, in Limoges, France)[1] received his doctorate from the University of Montpellier in France. He settled in Madagascar in 1954 and lived there until 2005. He became one of Madagascar's most eminent entomologists, herpetologists and plant collectors.[1]

He discovered over 3,000 new insects.[2] Peyriéras's dwarf chameleon (Brookesia peyrierasi ),[2] Peyriéras's chameleon (Calumma peyrierasi ),[2] and Peyriéras's woolly lemur (Avahi peyrierasi ) are all named after him. He discovered a new Brookesia species, Brookesia vadoni, in 1968, prospecting for insects in Iaraka, in the Masoala massif, that was described by É.-R. Brygoo and C.A. Domergue from the Institut Pasteur de Tananarive.

Peyriéras founded and ran the Mandraka Nature Farm, now known as Peyriéras Reserve Madagascar Exotic, about Шаблон:Convert east of Antananarivo in Madagascar. Here they breed many of Madagascar's' rare and endangered reptiles, frogs and insects. The farm is now run by his daughter, Sylviane Peyriéras.[3] [4]
