Jules René Bourguignat
Summary
Jules René Bourguignat (19 August 1829, Brienne-Napoléon, Aube – 7 April 1892) was a French malacologist, a scientist who studied mollusks. He served as secretary-general of the Société malacologique de France. He traveled widely, visiting, for example, Lake Tanganyika and North Africa. He reportedly defined 112 new genera and around 2540 new species of mollusks.
Bourguignat named and described many genera and species of mollusks, including:
Aspatharia Bourguignat, 1885, a genus of freshwater mussel.
Bridouxia Bourguignat, 1885, a genus of freshwater snail.
Lanistes alexandri Bourguignat, 1850, a species of freshwater snail.
Reymondia Bourguignat, 1885, a genus of freshwater snail.
Spekia Bourguignat, 1879, a genus of freshwater snail.
