Resumo

Roland Trimen (1840–1916, F.R.S. 1883) began to publish his entomological research in 1863. Although his main interest was in the taxonomy of South African butterflies he made important discoveries that helped to lay the foundations of the study of mimicry in insects. Together with Charles Darwin, Henry W. Bates, Alfred R. Wallace, Fritz Müller and Raphael Meldola he was one of those natural historians who may be credited with creating the science of ecology.
