[Taxacom] some Calodema-like rantings from 1928

[Neal Evenhuis]

His most famous is describing the business woman in 1924 as "Homo perniciosus" accompanied by a typical tirade. He also described Homo pudicus in 1931.

His online bio (now removed) said he was a certified schizophrenic, which probably explained some of his behavior.

I also discovered that Girault has a history of such writings (e.g.,
