The article has improved little since I first saw it in 2006. You may wish to consult one or more of the major biographical sources about Zeller:

  • Stainton, H. T. 1883. Philipp Christoph Zeller. - Entomologist's monthly magazine 20: 1-8.
  • Frey, H. 1883. Professor P. C. Zeller. Ein Necrolog. - Entomologische Zeitung [Stettin] 44: 413-416.

  • Dietl, H. 1982. Professor Philipp Christoph Zeller. – Steinheimer Nachrichten, Beiträge zur Heimatkunde 24 (31): [4 pp.].

Zeller’s entomological collecting trips to southern Europe and to the Alps should be mentioned – they’re not many, so can be dealt with briefly.

In respect to the situation of female scientists in the 19th century it would be worthwhile, I think, to mention Zeller’s role in helping Friederike Lienig (1790-1855) to get her entomological papers published – with Zeller as co-author. [see her obituary in Allgemeine deutsche naturhistorische Zeitung 1856: 71-76]
