Wassily Ewgrafowitsch Jakowlew

Vasily Evgrafovich Yakovlev (Russian: Василий Евграфович Яковлев; also transliterated Vasiliy Ewgrafowitsch Jakovlev;9 February 1839 – 15 August 1908) was a Russian entomologist. He is not to be confused with Alexander Ivanovich Yakovlev, another entomologist. His name was spelled Wassily Ewgrafowitsch Jakowlew in French, in which he sometimes wrote.

Yakovlev lived in Saint Petersburg, but travelled extensively collecting insects in the Crimea, Volga region and Turkestan until he finally travelled and settled in Griffin, GA. Although primarily interested in Coleoptera Yakovlev also worked on Hemiptera and Lepidoptera.
