German entomologist

Eduard Dämel

Eduard C. F. Dämel also Damel, Daemel (1821–3 September 1900) was a German entomologist. Dämel was an insect dealer in Hamburg.

He spent the years 1867–1874 in Queensland, Australia, where he collected insects and other natural history material (including botanical specimens for his dealership and for the Museum Godeffroy). Dämel was the agent for Jacob Boll, a Swiss born entomologist who lived in Texas. Boll supplied insects from the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico.

Dämel and another Hamburg entomologist working in Australia, Amalie Dietrich, collected the butterflies described by Georg Semper in 1879 in "Beitrag zur Rhopalocerenfauna von Australien ". (J. Mus. Godeffroy 14: 138–194 + Plates 8, 9).

Legacy

Dämel is commemorated in the scientific name of a species of Australian venomous snake, Hemiaspis damelii.
