Lubomír Masner (born April 18, 1934) is a Czech Canadian entomologist, taxonomist, and systematist.[1] His work focuses on Hymenopteran parasitoids, particularly in the superfamilies Proctotrupoidea, Platygastroidea, and Ceraphronoidea.[1][2] He is responsible for describing many new species, genera, and families of wasps and has completed revisions for these taxonomic groups throughout his career.[2]
Lubomír Masner was born on April 18, 1934 in Czechoslovakia.[2] He collected insects from a young age and was encouraged to study Hymenoptera by Oldřich Šustera.[2]
He studied zoology with a focus on entomology at Charles University, earning his BSc in 1952 and his MSc in 1957, before beginning his doctoral studies at the Entomological Institute of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences.[1][2] He earned his doctorate in 1962.[1][2]
