Philippe Cuénoud (born July 8, 1968) is an

botanist of Swiss and Ukrainian[1] descent, living in Onex (near Geneva), who worked on the Psocoptera of Switzerland[2]
and
phylogeny.[4][5][6][7]
He found the only recently known population of Lachesilla rossica near Geneva (the species has been described from southern Russia and may still exist there) and contributed further to the knowledge of the flora and fauna of the canton of Geneva with the first mention of a slender-billed gull[8] (a Mediterranean bird species usually absent form Switzerland) and with the discovery of the first reported population of small-leaved helleborines.[9] He also participated in a multidisciplinary study of the free-living fauna and flora of Basel's Zoo.[10] In a 1999 trip to Brasil with Alain Chautems, he was among the first few people to see the newly rediscovered flower Sinningia araneosa, that had gone missing for more than a century.[11]

Small-leaved helleborine from the firstly discovered population of this species in the canton of Geneva, 2004.

In 2022, he joined Onex's City Council to help better protect a population of autumn lady's-tresses.[12]

Entomology

Cuénoud collected

Science,[14] the total count of arthropod species of the forest was extrapolated to be about 25'000). Cuénoud is possibly the only person this far (as of 2019) to have seen (and photographed) a live specimen of the rare insect species Oronoqua ibisca (Issidae), discovered during the field-sampling phase of the project and known otherwise from dead specimens.[15]

Polypsocus sp. (Psocoptera: Amphipsocidae) in a cloud forest of Panama.

Botany

Barbeuiaceae
was created, based on molecular data obtained by Cuénoud.

Cuénoud studied the phylogeny of the genus

Limeaceae (comprising two genera of herbaceous plants from Africa, India and Australia) and Lophiocarpaceae (containing Lophiocarpus and Corbichonia, two genera of herbs from Africa and India).[19]

Betanin, a pigment found in some plants of the order Caryophyllales.
