Frank Morton Carpenter (September 6, 1902 – January 18, 1994) was an American
taxa known from elsewhere in the world. A careful and methodical worker, he used venation and mouthparts to determine the relationships of fossil taxa, and was author of the Treatise
volume on Insects. He reduced the number of extinct insect orders then described from about fifty to nine.
