The Society was created at a meeting hold on April 7, 1962 at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris, called by Jacques Callot (from Strasbourg), Jean Biguet (from Lille), Alain Chabaud (from Paris), and Claude Dupuis (from Paris). Among the 25 founding members were Lucien Brumpt, Pierre Paul Grassé, Edouard Brygoo, Jean-Marie Doby, Louis Euzet, Hervé Harant and Jean-Antoine Rioux.
