This office was occupied by forest entomologists after creation of the Division of Forest Insect Investigations, USDA, in 1902. Webb and Burke were the first forest entomologist to receive college training in America. Hopkins is credited with the idea that entomologists of the Division should choose a taxon of insects in which to specialize. Hopkins specialized in Scolytidae; Webb in Cerambycidae and Burke in Buprestidae (Burke 1946). (Furniss 2003, Fig. 8).
