Alexander Fry became a Member of the Entomological Society of London in 1885. Fry was an enthusiastic collector and in addition to his own beetles he added by purchase the collections of Frederic Parry (Longicornia), Alfred Russel Wallace, William Doherty, and the ‘’very fine’’ series collected by John Whitehead at Kinabalu, which included all the described by Henry Walter Bates. He did no descriptive work but many parts of his collection were named by other entomologists and it is therefore type rich. (en)
