Charles Juste Jean Marie Bugnion

Charles-Juste Bugnion, full name Charles Juste Jean Marie Bugnion (10 February 1811, Lausanne - 17 January 1897, Lausanne) was a Swiss banker and Vaudoise political personality. He was a member of the Société Helvétique des sciences naturelles and one of the founding members of the Société entomologique de France.

His insect collection, mainly Coleoptera, is held by Musée Cantonal de Zoologie in Lausanne. Begun at the Cantonal and University Library of Lausanne in 1999, the entomological library of Charles-Juste Bugnion is a collection comprising 27 books forming 74 volumes relating to insects (including butterflies) and birds. Most of these works, published in the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, contain coloured plates of exceptional freshness, some of them heightened with gold leaf.
