George Samouelle (1790–1846) was a curator in the British Museum (Natural History). He was primarily interested in Lepidoptera but also wrote A nomenclature of British Entomology, or a catalogue of above 4000 species of the Classes Crustacea, Myriapoda, Spiders, Mites and insects intended as labels for cabinets of Insects, etc., alphabetically arranged at London. This work established new genera in other insect orders.
