Eduard Becher
Eduard Becher was an Austrian entomologist who worked on Diptera.
He was the author of an article entitled 'Zur Kenntnis der Kopfbildung der Dipteren' Wiener Entomologische Zeitung, 1: 49-54. In this he identified the divisions of the Cyclorrhapha, Aschiza and Schizophora, a division he based on differences in the frontal region of the head. Aschiza have no ptilinum or associated suture, Schizophora have both ptilinum and its suture.
Becher's collection of Austrian Diptera is in the Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna.
