Henry Denny (1803–1871) was an English museum curator and entomologist, known as an authority on parasites.

Life

Denny was the first salaried curator of the Leeds Museum, then the museum of the Leeds Literary and Philosophical Society, appointed in 1825. He held that post for 45 years. Also in 1825, he published a monograph on the British species of the genus Pselaphus. The British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1842 made a grant to Denny for the study of British Anoplura; William Kirby tried to bring him in as illustrator of his Introduction to Entomology, though without success.[1][2]

Denny died at Leeds on 7 March 1871, at the age of 68.[1]

Works

Denny's published writings were:[1]

  • Monographia Pselaphorum et Scydmænorum Britanniæ; or an Essay on the British species of the genera Pselaphus of Herbst, and Scydmænus of Latreille, Norwich, 1825.
  • Monographia Anoplurorum Britanniæ; or an Essay on the British species of Parasitic Insects belonging to the order Anoplura of Leach, London, 1842.
