Gort Linsley probably is best
known entomologically for his contributions to the beetle family
Cerambycidae in which he was a world-reknown expert. His monumental
work, The Cerambycidae of North America, completed in 1977 (with
John A. Chemsak) stands as the only such treatise ever attempted
for the entire U.S. fauna. He was also an authority on
the biology, ecology and taxonomy of native bees. But
one of his first, and most enduring, entomological loves was
the scarabaeoid genus Pleocoma LeConte. Gort
was the pre-eminent student of "rain beetles" for
over 20 years, describing 12 Pleocoma species or subspecies
and providing the taxonomic foundation for many later agricultural
and taxonomic studies.
