Abstract
STUDENTS OF ENTOMOLOGY usually learn of Harrison Gray Dyar, Jr. (1866–1929) in relation to Dyar's law of geometric growth. An important figure in early twentieth-century entomology, Dyar described numerous moths and mosquitoes and brought new, more precise standards to larval description, higher classification, and life histories (Forbes 1929, Heinrich 1929).
