EspañolCHARLES COQUEREL
(Redirected from Coquerel)
'Charles Coquerel' (1822–1867) was a French navy surgeon and entomologist.
Coquerel collected insects in Madagascar and neighbouring islands. A number of these were described after his death by Léon Fairmaire in his ''Notes sur les Coléopteres recueillis par Charles Coquerel a Madagascar et sur les côtes d'Afrique'' (1869). During his lifetime Coquerel wrote a number of articles and books, including an appendix on insects in Auguste Vinson's ''Voyage à Madgascar au couronnement de Radama II'' (1865).
A number of animals are named after him, including the Coquerel's Coua ''Coua coquereli'' (Grandidier, 1867), the Coquerel's Sifaka ''Propithecus coquereli'' (Milne-Edwards, 1867), and the Coquerel's Giant Mouse Lemur ''Mirza coquereli'' (Grandidier, 1867), each of these species endemic to Madagascar.
