Lullin (Venus)

Named after Maria Lullin - Swiss entomologist (1750-1831).

Marie-Aimée Lullin was the wife of a Swiss entomologist. Together with his wife Marie-Aimée acting as his "eyes," and a servant, François Burnens, François Huber carried out investigations that laid the foundations of a scientific knowledge of the life history of the honey bee. One of the craters of Venus is named for her. (wikipedia entry)

A crater is a circular depression likely created by an impact event. On Venus they are named after deceased women who have made outstanding or fundamental contributions to their field (if over 20 km). If smaller common female first names are used.
