Lived 1921 – 1993 (aged 71). Werner Hirschmann was an acarologist.
Werner Hirschmann (1921 - 1993) was a German acarologist (zoologist specializing in mites).
In 1951 he earned a doctorate from the University of Erlangen, with the thesis: "Subcorticale Parasitiformes und die Gattung Digamasellus Berlese 1905", but like many German acarologists, he earned a living as a high school biology teacher.
He described over 1400 taxa, but his methods of defining mite genera have not always been accepted.
