"Hereward Chune Dollman (1888-1919). Dollman was educated at St. Paul's School, London and at St. Johns College, Cambridge. He was a very good sportsman and represented his college in both tennis and lacrosse. His interest in entomology started very early. At the age of five he began to collect butterflies. Later, still at school, he took up the study of British Coleoptera. At the age of 16 he was elected a Fellow of the Entomological Society of London. In the beginning of 1913 he left England for Central Africa. He worked as Entomologist for the British South Africa Company in connection with their Sleeping Sickness and Malaria surveys. Most of the time he was based at Mwenga and Kashita, where, besides his work on the tsetse fly, he made an exhaustive collection of North West Rhodesian Coleoptera, as well as Lepidoptera and ants. Dollman returned to England in 1915 and married in 1916. The couple returned to Africa and settled in North West Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). But within a few months his wife died. Dollman moved to Sulowezi and started to work on Lepidoptera, producing many watercolour paintings of the larvae. He was a talented artist and drew many lepidopterous larvae, particularly of the Sphingidae, for a proposed publication, but this was never completed. It became increasingly obvious that he had contracted sleeping sickness. He returned to England in 1917 and continued with his work on the South African Lepidoptera, until his death on 3 January 1919. Following his wishes, all his collections came to The Natural History Museum, London after his death."-- Natural History Museum online catalogue
