Biographical history
Christopher Aurivillius was born on January 15, 1843, in Forsa, Hälsingland, Sweden.
He was a world-renowned Swedish entomologist, author and educator. Aurivillius worked as a curator at the entomological department of the National Museum of Natural History. In 1895, he was elected to the Academy of Sciences, where he served as its secretary, and the Academy of Agriculture in the same year. He established the Swedish Entomological Institute in the 1890s and contributed to the multi-volume Swedish Insect Fauna. Additionally, he was an eminent educator and served as a member of Stockholm's public school board. Aurivillius published several research papers and books on butterflies, sticklebacks, hoppers, and beetles. He was a member of various domestic and foreign scientific societies, including the Zoological Society of London and the Entomological Society of London. Notably, his brother Carl was also a famous naturalist.
In 1884, he married Agnes Danielsson (1857- ?). He died on July 20, 1928, in Mörby, Stockholm, Sweden.
