| General Description : | Baron Michel Edmond de Sélys Longchamps (25 May 1813 - 11 December 1900) was a Belgian liberal politician and scientist. Selys-Longchamps was regarded as the world's greatest authority on dragonflies and damselflies. His wealth and influence enabled him to amass one of the finest collections of neuropteroid insects and to describe many species from around the world. His collection is housed in the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences. He was the author of Monographie des Libellulidées d'Europe (1840) and Faune Belge (1842). |
