Mark Robinson was an outstanding
field naturalist and amateur entomologist although by profession
he was a senior engineer (jet engines) at Westinghouse Electric
Company in Pennsylvania. From an early age Robinson concentrated
on collecting and studying beetles, and he finally concentrated
on scarabs. He discovered and described 72 new species of Scarabaeidae,
mostly from the United States. His large collection went to
the U.S. National Museum in Washington, D. C.
