William Lundbeck (16 October 1863 in
Aalborg – 18 May 1941 in
Kongens Lyngby) was a
Danishentomologist mainly interested in
Diptera. He was a Professor in the University Museum in
Copenhagen.
Lundbeck's most important work was Diptera Danica. Genera and species of flies Hitherto found in Denmark. Copenhagen & London, 1902-1927. 7 vols.
Before turning to insects, however, he participated on the
Ingolf expedition to the
North Atlantic in 1895-1896 and produced three significant reports on the deep sea
porifera collected by the expedition.[1]
