For health reason he had to come back to Belgium and started to work as a scientific collaborator for the entomology department of the former Royal Museum of Natural History in 1932. He was promoted several times and concluded his career as the Laboratory Director of the Institution in 1964. He retired in January 1965 and remained associated as a scientific collaborator of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences until his death in 1993.
