Bembicidium chevrolati Gemminger and Harold, 1868a: 409. Replacement name for Bembicidium apicale Jacquelin du Val, 1857. Etymology. The specific name was proposed to honor Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat [1799-1884], one of the leading coleopterist of his time. Born in Paris, Chevrolat was an employee at the Minister of Finances and despite his obligations wrote extensively on the taxonomy of beetles (particularly Curculionidae ). Chevrolat gathered an impressive col lection which was dispersed during his life time and by his heirs. Nevertheless, most of his specimens are now in MHNP (Cambefort 2006: 145).
