From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Michael James Giles (1853 – 1916) was an English surgeon and entomologist who specialised in mosquitoes. He wrote A report of an investigation into the causes of the diseases known in Assam as Kála-Azár and Beri-Beri (1890)[1] and A handbook of the gnats or mosquitoes giving the anatomy and life history of the Culicidae, together with descriptions of all species notices up to the present date (1902, 2nd edition).[2]
Giles described several new species of mosquitoes. Two of the most important are Culex tritaeniorhynchus, described in 1901,[3] and Anopheles culicifacies, described in 1901 with three other species.[4]
