Erzsébet Bajári

Erzsébet Némethné Bajári (born Erzsébet Némethné) and published as Erzsébet N. Bajári; (1912–1963) was a Hungarian entomologist, specifically a wasp researcher.

Biography
Bajári graduated from the Biography Chemistry Faculty of Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary as a teacher. In 1948, she took a position at the Hymenoptera (insect) collection of Hungarian Natural History Museum, and starting in 1954, continuing until her early death 1963, she was the curator of the collection. At the beginning she started to process the collection of scraper wasps (Sphecidaes), and then started to assemble and process a huge part of the collection of real wasps (Ichneumonidaes).

Since the death in 1915 of Győző Szépligeti, the collection's previous researcher, the museum's collection had lacked a Hungarian researcher making it a difficult part of the collection. With Bajári's expertise, she became the first domestic specialist in decades to undertake this work.

Bajári took over as editor of The Folia Entomologica Hungarica journal in 1963, but her sudden death shortly thereafter prevented her from completing the issue she had begun.

She died in 1963.
