Herbert Jordan Adams (1838 – 1 March 1912) was an English entomologist. Adams was born in London in 1838. His schoolboy collection of butterflies and moths formed the basis of an excellent collection of British Lepidoptera. Following the death of his mother and the sale of her house and land at Chase Park, Enfield, Adams moved to a nearby house, Roseneath, and amassed 68 cabinets and some 600 cartons of European and World butterflies. He employed Percy Ireland Lathy to curate the collection and describe the new species it contained. He became a fellow of the Royal Entomological Society in 1877.
