George Arnold (entomologist)


George Arnold was a British entomologist who
specialised in aculeate Hymenoptera.
From the Royal College of Science he was appointed to the Department of Cytology and Cancer Research at Liverpool and
then only worked on Hymenoptera as a hobby. In 1911 he became curator, and later director, of the National Museum of Southern Rhodesia, Bulawayo.
The butterfly species Anthene arnoldi, or Arnold's hairtail, was named after him by Neville Jones in 1918.
