Norman Barnett Tindale
(12 October 1900 – 19 November 1993) was an Australian anthropologist, archaeologist and entomologist. Born in Perth, his family moved to Tokyo from 1907 to 1915, where his father worked as an accountant at the Salvation Army mission in Japan. Soon after returning to Australia, Tindale got a job at the South Australian Museum in Adelaide.
Shortly after this, Tindale lost the sight in one eye in an explosion which occurred during photographic processing. This disability hindered his following his boyhood passion for entomology but he was still able to do important work, especially with hepialid moths.
