Anthony Musgrave (9 July 1895{{spaced ndash}}4 June 1959) was an Australian entomologist. Born in Queensland, Australia, he is known for penning Bibliography of Australian Entomology (1932). He was the great-nephew of Anthony Musgrave[1][2] who was Secretary of State for the Colonies.

Early life

Anthony Musgrave was born 9 July 1895[1] in Cooktown, Queensland, Australia.[1] His father was Anthony Musgrave, a civil servant, and his mother was Elizabeth Anne (née Colles).[2] He studied at the Hayfield Preparatory School in Homebush and the Sydney Church of England Grammar School.[2]

Career

As an entomologist, Musgrave is known for his 1932 work, Bibliography of Australian Entomology.[3] He worked at the Australian Museum,[4] initially as a librarian for a year,[5] before climbing up the ranks to become Assistant Entomologist,[6] and eventually the museum's entomologist,[7] a title later changed to "Curator of Insects and Arachnids".[8] He displayed much knowledge on insects[9] and arachnids; his area of expertise were ticks and venomous spiders. Musgrave was compiler of all of the Australian Science Abstracts' animal-related articles for around twenty years, until in 1957 when the publication folded.[5] He was also a contributor to the Australian Encyclopaedia (editions 1 and 2).[5]

Personal life and death

Musgrave was described as an "excellent lecturer and photographer".[2] He led a luxurious and peaceful life and was an avid golfer.[2] In his later years, little was heard about him; Musgrave did not like publicity.[2] He died at the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney on 4 June 1959.[2] The cause of death was listed as heart disease.[2]
