Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karl (or Carl) Wilhelm Verhoeff (1867–1945) was a German zoologist, specialising in Myriapoda and woodlice. He was briefly employed at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin (1900–1905), but for the remainder of his long career, he worked privately [1]. Verhoeff was one of the most prolific authors of myriapod taxa, along with Ralph Vary Chamberlin and Carl Michael Theodor von Attems [2]. He committed suicide on December 6, 1945 [1].
