Engaged by Godman and Salvin, the editors and publishers of the series, Champion collected in Guatemala, Panama, and Colombia between 1879 and 1883. He served as Secretary and Chief Assistant to the editors and contributed major sections to nine volumes of the series on the Heteroptera and Coleoptera .
