He was curator of the entomological collections for the Natural History Museum, Leiden from 1854 to 1873, when he retired due to health problems. In 1857 he founded Tijdschrift voor Entomologie, a journal of systematic and evolutionary entomology published by the Netherlands Entomological Society.

He described 9 genera and 471 species of insects.[1] With Frederik Maurits van der Wulp he compiled the first checklist of the Diptera of the Netherlands.
