Biography edit

He is the son of botanist fr:François-Charles du Buysson (1825-1906) and Mathilde de Montaignac (1829-1899)[1] and the brother of entomologist fr:Henri du Buysson.

Having developed a taste for herbariums at a very young age and a keen sense of observation, Robert du Buysson began to study the mosses of his native region rapidly expanding his field of study to lichens and vascular cryptogams. From 1888 to 1893 he published an inventory of vascular cryptogams of Europe in the Scientific Review of Bourbonnais and the Centre of France. In the field of bryology, the name of Robert du Buysson remains attached to two species: Orthorichum berthoumieui, named in honor of Father Berthoumieu with whom he studied the mosses around Saint-Pourçain (Allier), and Barbula buyssoni.

Robert du Buysson distinguished himself especially in the study of insects In April 1898 he obtained a position as a temporary entomology preparer at the Zoology Laboratory of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris. In 1900, he was appointed titular preparer for insects and crustaceans. Most of his work has been published in the Annales de la Société entomologique de France

Robert du Buysson bequeathed his collection of hymenoptera to the entomology laboratory of the National Museum of Natural History.
