Lucas Hippolyte (1814 – 1899) Lucas Hippolyte was born in 1814 in Paris and was a French entomologist. At the early age of 13 started to work as 'apprenti-preparateur' in the Zoological laboratory of the Paris Museum. Later he worked closely together with Latreille. He was a member of the Entomological Society of France and an honorary member of that of London. Lucas was part of the Scientific Commission for the Exploration of Algeria (1839-1842) and worked up the invertebrate collections for publication in three volumes: one on crustacea, arachnids, myriapods and hexapods 1849, and two volumes on insects [1846]-1849. Conceived and directed by the naturalist Bory de Saint Vincent, one of the first modern, systematic biological surveys of northern Africa, was undertaken by the French government in the early 1840s and resulted in a multi-volume series of scientific publications under the title of the "Exploration Scientifique de l'Algérie". The botanical and zoological volumes of this important expedition are of particular interest also to entomologists, since they contain numerous descriptions of species new to science. Lucas was later occupied mainly with the entomological fauna of this area. With regard to the Spiders, he published from 1833 to 1888, numerous small notes on the systematics, manners and geographical distribution of these animals. He gave several catch lists in France and did some important studies on Spider. Lucas was very prolific. He published among other: Histoire naturelle des lépidoptères exotiques.
