摘要: Joseph Sidebotham (1824–1885) was a Manchester cotton baron whose natural history collections are now in the Museum. In addition to collecting he suggested method for identifying and classifying Lepidoptera investigated variation within species as well limits. With three close collaborators, is credited with discovering many new Britain both Coleoptera. A suspicion of fraud attaches these claims. The evidence not clear-cut Lepidoptera, but possible reason why Sidebotham, an amateur increasingly professional scientific world, might have engaged deceit.
