Giuseppe Nobili (1877-1908) was an Italian zoologist at the University of Turin, [1] specialising in Crustacea, who was born at Omegna in Piedmont in 1877 and died at Omegna in 1908. His father was Dr. Gaudenzio Nobili and his mother, Adele Antonioli Nobili. [2]

Nobili attained his doctor's degree in natural science from the University of Turin in 1899 when he was also appointed as an assistant in the University's Museum of Zoology. Later, in 1903 he was appointed as an assistant in the University of Turin's Museum of Comparative Anatomy. While he was a student Nobile had published some notes on botanical subjects but soon turned his full attention to zoology. [2]

In total he published 53 papers on crustaceans, the first being an account of the collections of decapods on the University Museum of Zoology collection which had been collected by Dr A, Borelli in Argentina and Paraguay. This series of papers were an important contribution to the science of carcinology and contained descriptions of many new genera and species, as well as critical discussion of taxa which had already been described by others. [2] His most notable work was his monograph on the stomatopods and decapods of the Red Sea. [3] The taxa Eurycope nobili , Periclimenaeus nobilii and Paranchistus nobilii commemorate him. [1]
