Sergei Alphéraky
Sergei Nikolaevich Alphéraky (14 April 1850 – 1919?) (sometimes Alphéraki or Alferaki) was a Russian
entomologist who specialised in Lepidoptera
.
Sergei Alphéraky was born in Kharkov into the noble Greek family of Alferakis and was the brother of composer
Kamchatka, and those of Nicholas Mikhailovich Romanoff (Grand Duke Nicholas Mikhailovich), a friend from his two years at Moscow University. He was an honorary member of both the Russian Entomological Society and the Royal Entomological Society
of London.
Alphéraky was arrested in Petrograd during the Russian revolution in 1917 and according to some sources he was shot dead right there while others believe he was imprisoned and shot in 1919.[1]
