Wilton Ivie was born in Eureka, Utah on March 28, 1907.[1] He attended the University of Utah earning a BSc in 1930 and an MSc in 1932, working under Ralph V. Chamberlin. He remained at Utah as an instructor in zoology from 1932 to 1947, during which time he continued to work on spiders.[2]
For the last nine years of his life he worked at the American Museum of Natural History. He died as a result of an auto accident in Kansas on 8 August 1969, during an expedition for the American Museum of Natural History.[1][3]
Ivie published many texts of information on spiders, often with Chamberlin, for example, New tarantulas from the southwestern states, 1939, and New spiders from Mexico and Panama, in which species described or mentioned include Aphonopelma iodius, Aphonopelma moderatum, Aphonopelma radinum, Aphonopelma vorhiesi and Brachypelma embrithes.[4]
