Charles CoquerelCharles 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 Leon Fairmaire in his Notes sur les Colopteres recueillis par Charles Coquerel a Madagascar et sur les ctes d'Afrique (1869). During his lifetime Coquerel wrote a number of articles and books, including an appendix on insects in Auguste Vinson's Voyage a 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 Giant Mouse-lemur Mirza coquereli (Grandidier, 1867).
