Rémy Perrier (14 June 1861, Tulle - 27 June 1936, Chaunac) was a French zoologist. He was the younger brother of zoologist Edmond Perrier (1844-1921).

He studied natural sciences at the École normale supérieure, afterwards teaching classes in Poitiers. From 1926 to 1931 he was a professor of zoology in the Faculté des Sciences in Paris. He was a member of the Société des lettres, sciences et arts de la Corrèze.[1]

Perrier specialized in research on the Prosobranchia (a subclass of snails).[2] He is also remembered for his study of sea cucumbers, being credited with creation of the taxonomic genus Gastrothuria.[3]

Publications

Beginning in 1923, Perrier released "La Faune de la France en tableaux synoptiques illustrés", a work on zoology published in ten installments by Librairie Delagrave.[4] Other noted works by Perrier include:

  • Recherches sur l'anatomie et l'histologie du rein des gastéropodes prosobranches, (1889) - Research on the anatomy and histology of the Prosobranchia
