Stephan von Breuning (entomologist)

Stephan von Breuning (21 November 1894 – 11 March 1983) was an Austrian entomologist who specialised in the study of beetles (coleopterology), particularly within the Carabus, Calosoma and Ceroglossus (all of them are genera of the Carabidae family, also known as ground beetles) and the longhorn family (Cerambycidae).

An amateur working on the rich collections of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris, France, von Breuning described 7,894 taxa of Cerambycidae.

The complete list of von Breuning's entomological works is published in the Bulletin de la Société Sciences Nat, number 41. Among his most famous works there are the Monographie Der Gattung Carabus, published between 1932 and 1934 by Troppau, Schlesien, Cechoslovak Republik, and Études sur les Lamiaires, published in Novitates Entomologicae, 1934–1946.

Von Breuning and his wife lived in a small studio at the top of an old building on rue Durantin, Paris 18ème.
