Frederick Augustus Dixey FRS[1] (9 December 1855 – 16 January 1935) was President of the Royal Entomological Society of London, and was a distinguished British entomologist.[2]
Frederick Dixey was educated at Oxford University after starting in optometry, the profession of his father and grandfather, and chose to read medicine. He was Fellow of Wadham College[3] and also the Sub-Warden. He felt drawn to the Church of St Barnabas, Oxford, known for its Anglo-Catholic tradition and ceremonies; he sang in the choir for nearly forty years.[citation needed] Dixey never practised medicine, but devoted himself to natural history. He was an expert on the White butterflies, Pieridae.
Dixey was knocked down and killed by a bus in 1935 as he attempted to cross the road.[citation needed] It was due to his inability to judge distances accurately.
Dixey's son, Harold Giles Dixey (1893–1974), assistant master at the Dragon School in Oxford,[3] was a writer.
