What I am looking for is a list of 5 taxonomists who named the most beetle taxa from NHM London collection, for extra points, listed in order of the number of taxa they described new to science.
1). Johan Christian Fabricius
2). David Sharp
3). Carl Linnaeus
4). George Charles Champion
5). Carl Henry Boheman
It is good, but only David Sharp is in the actual top 5, in position #2 with 6639 taxa.
1) C. Linnaeus
2) D. Sharp
3) J.C. Fabricius
4) G.J. Arrow
5) C.O. Waterhouse
Linnaeus #63 with 944 taxa
David Sharp #2 with 6639 taxa
J.C. Fabricius #14 with 3099 taxa
G.J. Arrow #27 with 1901 taxa
C.O. Waterhouse is still problematic but is about 1000 taxa (still some tangling with the other Waterhouses)
A.R. Wallace one of them
Happy New Year!
... and the solution is?

#20 - 2283 Etienne de/ Stephan von Breuning
A truly fascinating bit of taxonomic beetle trivia, Maxwell I commend you for compiling this list. All the best in 2018!
because it's London collection, rather than Paris, Pic is not as high scoring as one might expect.
