Charles A. Alluaud (4 May 1861, Limoges – 12 December 1949, Crozant) was a French entomologist.[1]

Biography

The Alluaud family had owned porcelain factories since the 18th century. His great grandfather had been chairman of the Шаблон:Lang and his grandfather, François Alluaud (1778–1866), was a porcelain manufacturer, archaeologist, and geologist. Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796–1875) taught painting to Charles and his brother Eugene.

Charles left Limoges for Paris to supplement his studies but was an undisciplined pupil. The death of his parents enabled him to become an explorer. From 1887 to 1930, he went on many journeys in Africa (Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Kilimanjaro, Tunisia, Morocco, Sudan, the Sahara, Niger), the Canary Islands, Seychelles and Mascarene Islands. He assembled important collections of insects during his voyages, later giving these to the entomology department of the Шаблон:Lang. He was the author of 165 entomological publications. He was president of the Шаблон:Lang in 1899 and 1914.Шаблон:Citation needed
