Herbert Osborn (March 19, 1856-September 20, 1954) was an American entomologist.

Biography

He was born in Lafayette, Walworth County, Wisconsin.[1] He held various posts at Iowa State College, eventually becoming head of the Department of Zoology and Entomology from 1882 to 1897, and was the first State Entomologist of Iowa in 1898. He left Iowa in 1898 to become chairman of the Department of Zoology and Entomology at Ohio State University (1898-1916), where he was later named emeritus professor. He died in Columbus, Ohio.

Much of Professor Osborn's research was concerned with the Hemiptera, especially the leafhoppers of the Cicadellidae. He also studied economically important insects of the Anoplura and Thysanoptera. More than 500 publications bear his name.[2]
