László Ádám

László Ádám was born on 27 January 1957 at Hajdúnánás, Hungary. He was interested in entomology as a schoolboy, and at the age of  18 he gained employment in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, where he served until 1996. He participated in numerous museum projects, focusing on faunistic researches in national parks and forestry and nature  reserves. In his private capacity, he also took part in a number of collecting trips in Hungary and other countries, such as Romania (Transylvania), Croatia, Serbia (Vajdaság), Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey. Although Scarabaeoidea was his main interest, he expanded his coleopterological research to other beetle families as well, namely Dytiscidae, Haliplidae, Gyrinidae, and Staphylinidae of the Carpathian Basin. Since 1997 he continued his entomological work privately. He has authored and co-authored 75 entomological works and described a number of new taxa. He was a member of the Hungarian Entomological Society (1978- 1987).  Articles dealing with the Scarabaeoidea are listed below. He has no private collection, his types and the material he worked on are chiefly in the Hungarian Natural History Museum’s Coleoptera Collection.
