    apetzii

    Maybe now somewhat superfluous ... However, at this point, this far, I'd go for the dedicatee as nothing but Theodor Apetz (1834–1898), German (alt. Thuringian) entomologist and collector [... as well as Son of the more famous ditto Johann Apetz (1794–1857), both collaborators of/with Alfred...

    BOW Key

    And a last one, in this thread (on my part that is, at least for a while) ... This time I can only contribute with a tiny, minor comment, re. Descourtilz's "Euphonia galotii", as mentioned below: James (and Erikjan), the only thing I can add [on top of that the dedicatee indeed seems to be...

    Porphyrio alleni Thomson, 1842

    To be a bit more exact (at least slightly so), re. the Royal Navy officer William Allen ... According to Mearns and Mearns (2022*): Though, note, in this particular case they didn't give an exact date (only the Month)! Either way, in their List of References the Mearns Couple refer to four...

    Marais’ Bushshrike

    Also compare with how the name of the dedicatee was written in Paul's post (in the old thread of 2021): "Johnnes Van Oosterhuis Marais (1871-1904)" versus the "Johann van Oosterzee Marais" that we find above ... ?!? This far, I tend towards the latter (and born in "1870") ... or? :unsure:

    Ammomanes deserti annae Meinertzhagen, R 1923 and others

    Thanks guys! (y) And what about the (minor) contraditory claims in the Key entries of today [my bold blue]: To me it looks like her (First/Given) name indeed was Annie ... or? :unsure: Also noteworthy, earlier in the same journal as the OD of the African Pipit ssp. Anthus cinnamomeus annae...
