# Zeno Payne Metcalf

Zeno Payne Metcalf (né à Lakeville, Ohio, États-Unis le 1er mai 1885 et mort à Raleigh, Caroline du Nord, États-Unis le 5 janvier 1956) est un entomologiste américain spécialiste de l'ancien sous-ordre des Homoptères (Auchenorrhyncha). Il est l'auteur de la description de nombreux genres et espèces.

## Biographie

Zeno Payne Metclaf est né à Lakeville, Ohio aux États-Unis le 1er mai 1885. Fils d'Abel Crawford Metcalf et de Catherine (Fulmer) Metcalf, il est le frère de Clell Lee Metcalf (1888-1948), entomologiste spécialiste des diptères, et l'oncle de Robert Lee Metcalf (1916-1998) également entomologiste.
Il étudie à l'Université d'État de l'Ohio où il obtient son Baccalauréat en 1907, puis à l'Université Harvard où il obtient son Doctorat en sciences en 1925$^,$.
Il enseigne l'entomologie à l'Université d'État du Michigan pendant un an, de 1907 à 1908, puis rejoint le Département de l'agriculture de la Caroline du Nord ou il exerce jusqu'en 1912 comme assistant entomologiste. En 1912, il devient professeur associé à l'Université d'État de Caroline du Nord où il réalisera toute sa carrière et où il deviendra professeur "William Neal Reynolds" (l'une des plus hautes distinctions de cette Université) de zoologie et d'entomologie en 1953.
Il épouse, le 20 octobre 1909, Mary Luella Correll originaire de Wooster dans l'Ohio dont il aura une fille, Katherine (épouse Brown).
Il a été directeur du Département de zoologie et d'entomologie de l'Université d'État de Caroline du Nord de 1912 à 1950, directeur de l'Enseignement à l'Ecole d'Agriculture de 1923 à 1944, directeur des études supérieures de 1940 à 1943 et vice-doyen de la Graduate School de 1943 à 1950. À diverses occasions, il a été professeur invité à l'Université d'État de l'Ohio, à l'Université d'État du Michigan et à l'Université Duke$^,$.
Zeno Payne Metcalf a été un membre actif de nombreuses sociétés savantes et a notamment été président de la Société américaine d'écologie (1949) et de l'American Microscopical Society (1927)$^,$. Il a également été éditeur de la revue Ecology et président de l'Académie des sciences de Caroline du Nord.
Il est mort le 5 janvier 1956 dans sa maison de Raleigh, Caroline du Nord aux États-Unis$^,$. Il est enterré au cimetière Oakwood de Raleigh, Caroline du Nord.

## Héritage naturaliste

Zeno Payne Metcalf est l'auteur de 9 livres et de 96 publications sur les homoptères. Il a également participé à la préparation d'un catalogue de 42 volumes des homoptères du monde dont quinze volumes avait été publiés ou étaient sous presse au moment de sa mort et plusieurs autres quasiment complétés. Le catalogue a été complété par la suite et comptait à sa mort plus de 512000 références bibliographiques.
Il a publié avec son frère Clell Lee Metcalf$^,$.
Il était proche du botaniste Bertram Whittier Wells avec lequel il a œuvré pour l'enseignement de la théorie de l'évolution.
