He also encouraged other naturalists to study entomology, José María de la Fuente being one example. In this field he wrote more than 300 books and monographs and described more than thousand new species and about 200 genera.
After the Spanish Civil War he was exiled to Mexico when the nationalist government harshly repressed Republican militants and sympathisers. Here he was made ''Doctor honoris'' of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. In Mexico he was devoted mainly to entomology and founded in 1940 the journal ''Ciencia'' (Science).
His more important works include: ''Ortópteros de España nuevos o poco conocidos'' (1873) and ''Catálogo sinóptico de los ortópteros de la fauna ibérica'' (1900). Provided by Wikipedia
