Biography: Earle Gorton Linsley (1910-2000)
Gort Linsley probably is best known entomologically for his contributions to the beetle family Cerambycidae in which he was a world-renown expert. His monumental work, The Cerambycidae of North America, completed in 1977 (with John A. Chemsak) stands as the only such treatise ever attempted for the entire U.S. fauna.
