Herbert Spencer Barber (1882 – 1950) was an American entomologist. Herbert was born on April 12, 1882, in Yankton, South Dakota, to Amherst Willoughby and Velma Barber. His father, a civil engineer, was greatly interested in natural sciences. He grew up attending public schools in Orlando, Florida, and then attended high school for two years in Washington, D.C. Beyond this he received very little formal education, although he did take some night classes. Barber died on June 1, 1950.

  • Herbert Spencer Barber (* 12. April 1882 in Yankton (South Dakota); † 1. Juni 1950) war ein US-amerikanischer Entomologe, dessen Hauptinteresse den Käfern galt. Er wurde bekannt für die Entdeckung des wohl eigenartigsten Lebenszyklus eines Tiers, des Käfers Micromalthus debilis, und für die Entwicklung der später nach ihm benannten Barber-Falle. Barber wurde als Sohn des Bauingenieurs Amherst Willoughby Barber und Velma Barber geboren. Er besuchte zunächst Schulen in Orlando (Florida) und später für zwei Jahre die Highschool in Washington, D.C. und nahm außerdem Abendunterricht. Sein Wissen eignete er sich weitgehend autodidaktisch an. Er interessierte sich seit seiner Kindheit für Insekten und assistierte von 1898 bis 1902 und von 1904 bis 1908 im National Museum in Washington als Präparator bei dem berühmten, aus Schlesien stammenden Entomologen Eugene Amandus Schwarz (1844–1928). Die Jahre dazwischen arbeitete er für das U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) über Insekten als Schädlinge der Baumwolle. Seit 1908 beschäftigte er sich beim USDA besonders mit Käfern und wurde ein international anerkannter Spezialist für die Bestimmung von Blattkäfern, Leuchtkäfern und Samenkäfern. 1913 beschrieb Barber den Lebenszyklus des Käfers Micromalthus debilis. Die Beschreibung erschien so ungewöhnlich, dass die Fachwelt den Ergebnissen zunächst keinen Glauben schenkte. Weitere Untersuchungen, insbesondere durch John William Sutton Pringle im Jahre 1938, konnten jedoch Barbers Entdeckung weitgehend bestätigen. Die Aufzeichnungen von seinen Forschungsreisen nach Kalifornien (1903), Texas (1904 und 1918), Guatemala (1906) und Arizona (1914) sowie seine private und dienstliche Korrespondenzwerden in den Archiven der Smithsonian Institution aufbewahrt.

  • Herbert Spencer Barber (1882 – 1950) was an American entomologist. Herbert was born on April 12, 1882, in Yankton, South Dakota, to Amherst Willoughby and Velma Barber. His father, a civil engineer, was greatly interested in natural sciences. He grew up attending public schools in Orlando, Florida, and then attended high school for two years in Washington, D.C. Beyond this he received very little formal education, although he did take some night classes. As a child he had become interested in insects, and in 1898 he worked with Dr. E. A. Schwartz as assistant preparator of insects in the National Museum in Washington. He held his position until 1902 and came back again from 1904 to 1908. During the years 1902 to 1904 he studied cotton insects in southern fields under the Bureau of Entomology in the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Starting in 1908 on he worked as a specialist on beetles in the Division of Insect Identification of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Until Dr. Schwartz died in 1928, Barber continued to work closely with him at the National Museum. In 1913, Barber published two papers about Micromalthus debilis, a small wood-boring beetle. He had discovered that there are several distinct types of larvae in this species and that under certain conditions larvae will produce both eggs and live larvae. This has since been confirmed by other scientists, but initially it was doubted by many entomologists. This was potentially his greatest single discovery, which occurred only fifteen years after he had his first exposure to entomological work. Barber was a naturalist with wide interests. He was an internationally recognized authority on chrysomelid, bruchid, and lampyrid beetles and often was consulted for his knowledge of Coleoptera as well as many other subjects. He traveled to collect insects to many parts of the United States, Mexico, and Guatemala. Barber belonged to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Entomological Society of Washington, the Coleopterists’s Society, the Entomological Society of America, the American Association of Economic Entomologists, the Biological Society of Washington, the Washington Academy of Sciences, and the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club. As a member of the Washington Biologists’ Field Club, Barber spent a lot of time on Plummers Island studying the beetles there with Dr. Schwartz. Barber died on June 1, 1950. (en)
