Adrien Frédéric Jules Dollfus (21 March 1858, in Mulhouse-Dornach – 19 November 1921, in Paris) was a French carcinologist known for his work with terrestrial isopods, including crustaceans and trilobites.
Adrien Dollfus was the grandson of Alsatian factory owner Jean Dollfus. He was born in Dornach, Alsace, now part of the city of Mulhouse, Haut-Rhin. He completed a Bachelor of Science degree and then began a lifelong study of crustaceans and trilobites. In 1870 he founded the publication La Feuille des jeunes naturalistes.[1][2] In 1888 he married Anna Noémie Schlumberger in Paris, with whom he had three children.
In 1912 Dollfus was chosen president of the Société zoologique de France. Some species with the epithet of dollfusi are named in his honor, and others commemorate his relatives geologist Gustave Frédéric Dollfus (1850-1931) or parasitologist Robert-Philippe Dollfus (1887-1976).[3]
Around 1900, Swiss author, editor, correspondent and librarian Hans Bloesch (1878-1945) served as Dollfus' private secretary and librarian.[4]
