Antoine-Charles Vauthier (1790-1879)
Vauthier was a French entomologist, botanist, author and natural history illustrator. His father, Michel Vauthier, was a miniaturist at Versailles and later a publisher and art dealer in Paris. Vauthier was a collector of plants and insects in Brazil, arriving in Rio de Janeiro in December 1831 and returning to France, arriving at the port of Toulon on 21 May 1833. He is commemorated in some 40 species names.
