Walther Horn


Walther Hermann Richard Horn was a German entomologist who specialised in beetles. He was born in Berlin, where he also died. He is not to be confused with the American entomologist George Henry Horn, another entomologist that studied Coleoptera.
Walther Horn was first a physician then the director of the German Entomological Institute.
