Octave Parent

Abbé Octave Parent, (15 June 1882 in Trescault – 9 February 1942 in Ambleteuse) was a French entomologist who specialized in Diptera, mostly the family Dolichopodidae.[1] He became director of the Biological Station, Ambleteuse.[2]

He published three papers, dated 1934, 1937 and 1940, concerning twenty-six new species of Hawaiian Campsicnemus. Details from the 1937 paper were returned to the Hawaiian Entomological Society.[3] The species Sigmatineurum parenti, found in Hawaii, is named in memory of Parent, "in honor of his foundational work with Hawaiian dolichopodids and for describing the genus Sigmatineurum".[4]

gollark: On your neural interface, I mean?
gollark: Anyway, perhaps you would like to... *test* a potatOS computer?
gollark: You said `or even a cc emulator in cc`, please stop being hypocritical.
gollark: jrengen: look at discord, you can see that bit of code the potatOS sandbox has for, OH LOOK, running the BIOS inside a filesystem sandboxing.
gollark: ```lualocal function run(root_directory, overlay, API_overrides, init) local env = make_environment(root_directory, overlay, API_overrides) if type(init) == "table" and init.URL then init = fetch(init.URL) end init = init or fetch "https://pastebin.com/raw/wKdMTPwQ" env.init_code = init local out, err = load(init, "@init.lua", "t", env) if not out then error(err) end env.hypercalls.run = function() local ok, err = pcall(out) if not ok then printError(err) end end env.hypercalls.run()end```
