Victor Auzat
Jean François Victor Auzat (January 3, 1865 – September 27, 1939) was a French physician and amateur entomologist who specialized in beetles of the family Histeridae. A monograph work on the Gallo-Rhenish Histeridae that he began was unfinished and never published.
Auzat was born in Saint-Germain-de-Lembron (Puy-de-Dôme). He went to school at Clermont-Ferrand and became a school teacher in 1883. In 1886 he received a degree in natural science and a doctorate in 1890. He taught at the Orléans High School (1891), the Janson-de-Sailly High School (1892), and the Saint-Louis High School (1894). In 1894 he joined the faculty of medicine in Paris and became a doctor of medicine in 1903. He worked as an assistant professor at the Collège Rollin (Paris). In 1919 he became an officer of public instruction. He was a member of the Entomological Society of France from 1904 and in 1927 he received the Dollfus Prize of the Society. In 1908 he received the cross of agricultural merit.[1][2][3]
Auzat published widely on the Histeridae[4][5][6] and his collections went to the entomologist Therond and are now held in the museum of natural history in Paris.[1][7]
