Life and Entomological Research of Edward Władysław Koziorowicz (1838–1910) – A Contribution to the Biography of a Forgotten Polish Engineer and Naturalist

Summary/Abstract: The article recalls the figure of Edward Koziorowicz, born in exile in France to a father who was an insurgent in the 1830 uprising. Educated at both the Polish school in Batignolles and the prestigious École des Ponts et Chaussées, he became one of France’s most outstanding engineers. He worked in Corsica, Savoy, and Melun. However, his true passion was entomology. He became particularly renowned for his research on beetles with a subterranean lifestyle. A member of the French Entomological Society, he developed new methods for catching insects. Thanks to his research, several new species were described. Koziorowicz also organized research trips and stays in Corsica for other naturalists, including Simon and Marshall. He exchanged specimens with many European entomologists, and several new species were dedicated to him. For his achievements, he received numerous distinctions, including the Legion of Honour.
