List of the taxa he created
[edit]The list of 95 new names which he created is published on the web.[3]
Among them are several new species of Cyclommatus which were never the object of a publication. In fact the author prepared a revision of the genus to appear in a volume of the series of The Beetles of the World, almost totality of photos had been realized by Guy Bouloux. A heart attack at the age of 51 ended this project.
Another work in preparation was a fauna of the Stag beetles of the island of Sumatra, thanks to the numerous sendings of specimens captured on the spot by Dr Eduard W . Diehl.
