Eugene Amandus was born on April 21, 1844 in Liegnitz, Silesia, (now Poland) the son of Luise (Harnwolf) and Amandus Schwarz, cloth merchant and member of the Common Council of Liegnitz.
As a boy, Eugene Amandus Schwarz became acquainted with the elder Gerhardt, a highly skilled entomologist, who taught him the fundamentals of entomology and of the natural sciences. After gymnasium days, he was sent by his parents to the University of Breslau. His main studies were supposed to be philological, but he retained a strong interest in entomology. In 1872 was a student at the University of Leipzig. During these years he devoted almost his entire attention to entomological studies.
His first entomological publication appeared in 1869. In 1870 Schwarz was with the German army before Paris, in the distributing hospital of the medical corps.
After the Franco-Prussian War he returned to the University of Breslau. He left Europe without notifying his family and arrived in the United States in December 1872. Bringing with him a letter of recommendation from a famous German entomologist, he was employed by Dr. Hermann August Hagen in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge.
At Cambridge he met Henry Guernsey Hubbard, and the acquaintance ripened into a lifelong friendship. When Hubbard graduated from Harvard, Schwarz went with him to Detroit, Michigan, where they founded the Detroit Scientific Association and began the building up of collections.
During the winter of 1874-75 they went to Florida together and began a study of the entomological fauna there; in the following year Schwarz repeated the journey. In the summer of 1877 he went with Hubbard on an expedition to the Lake Superior region, where they made a collection of an enormous number of beetles, the basis of their study entitled The Coleoptera of Michigan (1879).
In 1878 Schwarz went to Colorado to collect Coleoptera for John Lawrence LeConte, but the season had hardly started when he was offered a position in the Department of Agriculture by Charles Valentine Riley. This he accepted and spent the following winter investigating the cotton worm from Texas to the Bahamas. For more than fifty years he remained in the service of the United States government, holding a position with the Bureau of Entomology after March 1881.
In 1898 he was made custodian of the Coleoptera in the United States National Museum, and toward the close of his active life in August 1926, when he retired, he was almost completely immersed in museum work. He shunned publicity and would not allow the editors of Who's Who in America or of the American Men of Science to mention his name.
He died on October 15, 1928.
Eugene Amandus Schwarz was considered to be the most learned coleopterist in America, possibly the most learned in the world. He was, in addition, a general entomologist, whose knowledge of the literature of entomology was stupendous, one of the best field men in the government service. He was a popular and influential employee of the U. S. Department of Agriculture for more than fifty years. His published bibliography contains almost four hundred titles, mainly relating to Coleoptera, but a large field of biological observation. He was one of the founders of the Entomological Society of Washington and in 1916 was made its honorary president for life.
