His interest in insects was sparked in childhood when he collected butterflies. After completing his masters degree at the Baltic University of Hamburg, he migrated to Victoria in 1950. He joined the National Museum of Victoria in January 1954 following a short time studying blood-sucking insects which were vectors of myxomatosis for the Victorian Department of Crown Lands and Survey. He retired from the Museum in 1989 after 24 years, as Curator of Entomology. Neboiss' research focused on caddisflies (Tricoptera) and the Australian endemic stoneflies (Plecoptera). His Atlas of Tricoptera of the SW Pacific-Australian region (1986) was considered a major achievement and a key reference for Australian species. He regularly travelled to Tasmania for fieldwork, including to the Lake Pedder region in 1965 and 1966, when he collected over 3,000 specimens, often in company with artist and entomologist Charles McCubbin. Neboiss's work on Trichoptera resulted in the Museum having the largest and most comprehensive collection of these insects in the southern hemisphere. Five insect genera and 42 species were named after him. 1950 1950 Life event - Migrated to Victoria 1950 1952 Career position - Caretaker, St Catherine's Girls Grammar 1952 1953 Career position - Assistant Research Officer, Victorian Department of Crown Lands and Survey January 1954 1964 Career position - Assistant Curator of Entomology, National Museum of Victoria 1954 2010 Award - Fellow, Royal Entomological Society, London 1956 1956 Education - Master of Science (MSc), University of Melbourne 1961 1989?
