Mario Tirelli (born 1906, date of death unknown) was an Italian entomologist.
Tirelli was a specialist in the anatomy and biology of Bombyx mori the Mulberry silkmoth. He was under director of the Stazione Bacologica Sperimentale in Padua. He wrote Fisiologia degli Insetti (1929) and Atlante microfotografico della embriologia degli insetti (Bombyx mori). Col concorso della ditta G.

The domestic silk moth is an insect from the moth family Bombycidae. It is the closest relative of Bombyx mandarina, the wild silk moth. The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of a silk moth. It is an economically important insect, being a primary producer of silk. A silkworm's preferred food are white mulberry leaves, though they may eat other mulberry species and even the osage orange. Domestic silk moths are entirely dependent on humans for reproduction, as a result of millennia of selective breeding. Wild silk moths are not as commercially viable in the production of silk.
The Stazione Bacologica Sperimentale is an institution specialising in sericulture (silk-farming) in Padua, Italy. It was founded in 1871 by a decree of Vittorio Emanuele II. The actual founder was Enrico Verson. It is a section of the Institute for Experimental Agrarian Zoology of Florence. The current director is Dr. Luciano Cappellozza and the Institute building is owned by the Provincial Administration of Padua, which is planning a museum with live collections of insects. This will include exhibitions on sericulture, apiculture and a general display of Lepidoptera. The sericultural part will show the silk collections of the Section as well as old tools and machines used for the rearing of the silkworm and the reeling of the cocoon.
Friedrich Moritz Brauer was an Austrian entomologist who was Director of the Naturhistorisches Hofmuseum, Vienna, at the time of his death. He wrote many papers on Diptera and Neuroptera.
