Justin Pierre Marie Macquart
Encyclopedia
Justin Pierre Marie Macquart (1776–1855) was a French
entomologist specialising in the study of Diptera
. He worked on world species as well as European and described many new species
.
, France in 1776 and died in Lestrem
, Pas-de-Calais (or Lille) in 1855.
He was interested in natural history from an early age due to his older brother who was an ornithologist and a Fellow of the Société de Sciences de l’Agriculture et des Arts de la Ville de Lille and whose bird
collection became the foundation of the societies museum, the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle de Lille
. A second brother founded a botanic garden with a collection of over 3000 species of plants. Macquart, too became interested in natural history.
In 1796 he joined the staff of General Armand Samuel then campaigning in the Revolutionary Wars
. He was a secretary and draftsman. The general staff was stationed in Schwetzingen
, then Heidelberg
, Mainz
, Arau
, Basel
and Zurich
.He left the army in 1798 returning to Lille with German books, insects and birds.
, Year 11 of the French Revolutionary Calendar (1802) he was elected a Fellow of the Société de Sciences de l’Agriculture et des Arts de la Ville de Lille. Soon he began travelling around France and went several times to Paris where he met Pierre André Latreille
who suggested to specialize on Diptera, following the pioneering work of Johann Wilhelm Meigen
. After some time in Holland he married and moved from Hazebrouck
to Lestrem
where he became a Conseillers régionaux of the Conseil régional du Nord-Pas-de-Calais..
At this time he began intensive studies of Diptera examining the collections of
Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville
, Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire
, André Étienne d'Audebert de Férussac
, Amédée Louis Michel Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau
, Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville
, Alexandre Louis Lefèbvre de Cérisy
, Gaspard Auguste Brullé
and François Louis de la Porte, comte de Castelnau
in France. He also went to Hamburg where Wilhelm von Winthem
had assembled the largest collection of Diptera in the world. At the age of 25 he was one of the founders of the Société d’Amateurs des Sciences et Arts de la Ville de Lille. Many of his publications were published in the Mémoires of this Society. He also expanded the natural history holdings of the Musee d'Histoire Naturelle de Lille
.
In these years he wrote Insectes diptères du nord de la France published in Lille in 1829. This prompted Latreille to enlist him as the author of the Diptera volumes of Suites à Buffon
under his editorship. This arrangement was continued by Nicolas Roret
when Latreille was ill. Two volumes were published as Histoire naturelle des insectes Dipteres. World Diptera were treated as well as French.
In 1839 Macquart visited Johann Wilhelm Meigen
, then aged 75, in Stolberg
, acquiring his notes and drawings and
bringing his collection to Paris where it is now in the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle
. This was an amical arrangement, though the collection was purchased. This established Macquart as Meigen's successor and Paris as the centre of Dipterology.
particularly Tabulae animalium invertebratorum (1810) and Diptera exotica (1820-). He had not seen the imposing collections in Paris and these were to occupy Macquart for the rest of his life. Between 1838 and 1855 he described nearly 2,000 new species in supplements to Histoire naturelle des Insectes and Insectes diptères exotiques nouveaux ou peu connus (1838) which lists the collections examined to that date. They are those of :-Jules Dumont d'Urville
