About Gustave de Romand
Gustave du Bois, baron de Romand (1810–1871) was a respected amateur French entomologist, a member of the Société entomologique de France. who was prominent in the political arena. He contributed on September 4, 1837, a "Description of the male Epomidiopteron Julii." to the Royal Entomological Society of London, but his modest place in the history of entomology is secured by his Tableau de l'aile supérieure des Hyménoptêres. In a hand-colored lithograph it presented 28 kinds of Hymenopteran upper wings, their homologous features differently tinted, so that by comparing them the viewer could establish to which family an individual specimen belonged. In an accompanying printed 14-column table, the terms used by previous entomologists to describe Hymnopteran wings are tabulated.are presented for comparison. The Australian paper wasp Ropalidia romandi was named by Élie Jean François Le Guillou to honour him in 1841.
