Meanings
plural hymenopterologists
- One who studies the Hymenoptera.
Many other cases could be cited, but these, I think, will do to show the difficulty of the study of the Pompilidae, and how deficient our generic definitions must be when our most able hymenopterologists are so easily led astray by superficial resemblances.
