Biography edit

Józef Razowski was born in Milówka, a village in the southern part of Poland. After finishing engineering studies at the Tadeusz Kościuszko University of Technology in 1953, he started working at the Faculty of the Systematic Zoology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) a year later, of which he was director from 1988 to 1997. [nb 1] In the meantime, he pursued further studies at Jagiellonian University, getting his master's degree in 1958 and a PhD in 1961. Razowski then received habilitation in 1966 and was given the title of professor in 1973.[3] In 1975, he founded the Lepidopterology Section of the Polish Entomological Society, which he directed for five years.[1] Razowski retired in 2003.[3]

Razowski specialises on anatomy, morphology, systematics, and ecology of moths and butterflies of the Palearctic and Neotropical realms, with a focus on tortrix moths, and is credited with the creation of new concepts of the classification of Lepidoptera.[1] Between 1953 and 2006, he has described 1744 Lepidopteran taxa[4] and has written about 20 books and monographs on entomology.[5]

For his contributions in biology, he received some awards, including the Polish State Award [pl] of Second Degree and the Ignaz Schiffermüller medal.[3]
