Howard, Leland Ossian

▪ American entomologist
born June 11, 1857, Rockford, Ill., U.S.
died May 1, 1950, Bronxville, N.Y.

      American entomologist noted for his experiments in the biological control of harmful insects and for other pioneering efforts in applied entomology.

      After completing his studies at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., under John Henry Comstock, one of the leading entomologists of the time, Howard joined the Division of Entomology in the U.S. Department of Agriculture and was appointed its head in 1894. He served in that capacity until 1927, during which time he came to be recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities in his field. Howard gained distinction for his taxonomic work; he described 47 new genera of parasitic Hymenoptera (the order of insects that includes wasps and ants) and more than 20 species of mosquitoes, accomplishing the latter with the help of Harrison G. Dyar and Frederick Knab. Besides engaging in experimental work on the control of insect pests, Howard conducted research in the area of medical entomology that resulted in the identification of the common housefly as a major carrier of diseases. He also was a prolific writer, publishing more than 1,000 scientific papers and books. Among his most significant writings were: The Insect Book (1901); The House Fly (1911); The Mosquitoes of North and Central America and the West Indies, 4 vol. (1912–17), written in collaboration with Dyar and Knab; and A History of Applied Entomology (1930).
