Deville was a participant in the great South American Expedition 1843-1847 under the leadership of Francis de La Porte de Castelnau, who was traveling on behalf of Louis -Philippe I.. In addition to the physician and botanist Hugh Algernon Weddell (1819-1877) and the geologist Alexandre Victor Eugène Hulot d' Osery (1819-1846) was Deville, employee of the Muséum national d' histoire naturelle, selected as a taxidermist. The expedition began on April 30, 1843 in Brest, lasted until 1847, and led to Brazil to Peru. On October 9, 1845 broke up in Sarayacu and first drove with great difficulty the Bobonaza River down. Later she reached to the Río Ucayali.

Deville brought from the trip several parrots. Although a majority of the records were lost, it was Deville of 1851 brought the birds as Dusky headed Parakeet first described scientifically. He also described together with de Castelnau various crab species and 1848 the White-tailed titi monkeys.

Together Léon Lefebvre - Duruflé and a Mr Duret he broke in 1852 to a second trip to Brazil and Paraguay. In October 1852, they reached Rio de Janeiro. On arrival in Brazil Déville was received by Emperor Peter II and many important dignitaries. But soon all three ill of yellow fever. On December 19, 1852 passed away at first P. Duret.

Dedikationsnamen

In 1859 described Charles de Souancé ( 1823-1896 ) and François Victor Masséna ( 1799-1863 ), second Duke of Rivoli and third Prince of Essling, the Devillesittich ( Pyrrhura devillei ). The name was a tribute to Deville. Also, the white-bellied Antbird ( Drymophila devillei ) ( Ménégaux & Hell Mayr, 1906) includes his name in the specific epithet. In addition, he Frederic de Lafresnaye dedicated in 1850, a subspecies of the Perlhals tree climber ( Dendrexetastes rufigula devillei ) and Jules Bourcier along with Étienne Mulsant in 1848, a subspecies of Beryllamazilie ( Amasilia beryllina devillei ).

Also found in the Ichthyology his name in a species of the genus Brycon feeder. So Francis de La Porte de Castelnau in 1855 named a new species Chalceus devillei that is classified today as devillei Brycon. For this purpose, described in 1853 Henri Milne Edwards ( 1800-1885 ), a new crab species under the name Sylviocarcinus devillei.

In paleontology called 1855 François -Louis -Paul Gervais a fossil of an extinct Unpaarhufers Equus de Deville (Equus devillei ), now under the name Hippidion known devillei.

In French and English literature one finds the trivial name Toui de Deville and Deville 's Parakeet for the cobalt wing Parakeet ( Brotogeris cyanoptera ). This had its origin in the fact that Deville 1851 in Revue et Magasin de zoology pure et appliquée had the new way Conurus jugular described. It was only much later discovered August from Pelzeln and George Robert Gray, that was occupied by the jagularis already Tovisittich ( Brotogeris jugularis ) ( Statius Muller, 1776). While Gray 's name Sittace devillei chose, chose of furs for Sittace cyanoptera. Since 1859 the Devillesittich already been described, sat name of Pelzens according to International Rules for Zoological Nomenclature by, but remained the trivial name.

Edmond de Selys - Longchamps called 1880 belonging to the Demoiselles kind Lais devillei for the former Belgian consul in Quito and today Consul of Zanzibar Émile de Ville, who died in Zanzibar on January 4, 1880. Today it is known under the name devillei Mnesarete. Since the publication took place well after the death of Deville, it can not act to de same Deville itself. Likewise, should a reptile Craugastoridae the family that George Albert Boulenger in 1880 described under the name Anolis de Villei, and is now run under the name devillei Pristimantis, be dedicated to the Ecuadorian consul, as the type specimen also came from Ecuador.
