Notes:
Charles Valentine Riley (1843-1895) was one of two or three key figures in the development of economic entomology in the United States. An Englishman by birth, he was a protege of Benjamin Dann Walsh and was the first entomologist of the State of Missouri from 1868 to 1871. Riley secured establishment of the United States Entomological Commission in 1877 and the next year was named Entomologist of the United States. Riley was also Honorary Curator of Insects in the United States National Museum, 1882-1895; and from his own collections and those of the Department of Agriculture grew the national collection of insects. Riley also published two journals, in cooperation with others, the American Entomologist, 1868, 1880; and Insect Life, 1889-1894
Summary:
These papers concern entomology, mostly economic, and include scrapbooks compiled by Riley and occasionally by others, 1872-1894, tracing the history of entomology in clippings from a wide variety of sources arranged topically and especially usefulfor tracing Riley's work as State Entomologist of Missouri; Memorandum Entomologicum, 1866-1879, consisting of descriptions, drawings, observations, and some rearing data on a wide variety of injurious insects; outgoing correspondence, 1866-1895, including letters from Riley to other entomologists; incoming correspondence, 1882-1883, relating to silk culture; notes and papers, mostly on Psyllidae; and notes and correspondence concerning Phengodes and Zarhipis
