Lionel Jack Dumbleton
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Lionel Jack Dumbleton (1905 – 25 September 1976) was a New Zealand entomologist. He was born in Hampden, New Zealand and was a founding member of the Entomological Society of New Zealand.[1] Dumbleton was one of the entomologists studying insects on the 1949 New Zealand American Fiordland Expedition.[2]
One of his most remarkable biological discoveries was a new genus of caddis-fly-like primitive moths that he described as Agathiphaga[3] and which has been subsequently raised to superfamily level as the second most primitive known living lineage of moths, Agathiphagoidea.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
