Mahadeva Subra Mani (1908‒2003) is a well-known name in Indian biology, more specifically, in entomology. In the inaugural issue of the Indian Journal of Entomology, Mani1 has written a short note referring to ‘autophotographs’. Details of the production of autophotographs are available in his note (Box 1). Unfortunately, Mani does not explain whether the autophotographs were made by him. From the statement, ‘In discussion it was pointed out …’, at the end of the note (see Box 1), one could infer that he made and presented these in a forum, where the science behind this photographic method was evidently discussed.
