Fairmaire was an Honorary President
of the Societe Entomologique de France, having joined that society
in 1842, a full 60 years before. His first paper was published
in the Annales in 1843, and his last paper was published in
1905 ("Description des coleopteres heteromeres de la Republique
Argentine"). Most of his papers were devoted to descriptions
of Coleoptera, although he was also known for his knowledge
of Hymenoptera and Hemiptera.
