You can as well question why he named some elisabethae while one was named mariae.
Serilophus lunatus elisabethae, here, "Named after my daughter Elizabeth", 29 Oct 1921.You can as well question why he named some elisabethae while one was named mariae.
Caroline Amanda La Touche née Focken (d. 1945) wife of Irish ornithologist John Digues La Touche (subsp. Brachypteryx leucophris).
And, note that this Plant was described in Messieurs Finet's and Franchet's Paper: "Sur une Collection de Plantes réunie dans le Fokien" a k a "Plantes du Fokien (China)".Hab. — Les montagnes de Kuantun. — Mai 1898.
I am not really sure how La Touche who was born in France and lived most of his life in China is called an Irish Ornithologist ...
Named in honour of Father Courtois, Curator of the Sikawei Museum, at the request of Mr. La Touche.
Ces deux spécimens ont été donnés au Muséum par le Père Courtois, directeur du Musée de Zi-Ka-Wei, près Changaï, auquel nous avons dédié l'espèce.

COURTOIS' FAN-TAIL WARBLER.
A series of Pale-headed Fan-tail Warblers obtained by Père Courtois in North Kiangsi and South Anhwei belong, I believe, to an undescribed form of Cisticola exilis, and these are without doubt similar to the two birds described above—the winter example from Central Fohkien and the one in summer dress from Hokow in South Yunnan.
And; note that "C. jankowskii" (here called "Alpheraky's Swan" alt. Jankowski's Swan) today, by most, is considered a synonym of Cygnus (colombianus) bewicki ... !?
Jankowski's Bunting Emberiza jankowskii Taczanowski, 1888 [Alt. Rufous-backed Bunting] Jankowski's Swan Cygnus columbianus jankowskyi Alphéraky, 1904 NCR [Alt. Tundra Swan; NUI Cygnus columbianus bewickii]
Mikhail Ivanovich Jankowski (1842–1912) was a Polish nobleman trained as a collector by Dybowski (q.v.). With Dybowski, Godlewski (q.v.) and others he was exiled in Siberia, following the Polish Uprising (1863). Although he was pardoned (1873) he stayed in Manchuria. He continued to collect birds for the Warsaw Zoological Collection and later for the Branicki Museum. After release exiles were obliged to settle in remote areas. With his fellow exiles he undertook a scientific expedition along the Amur River (1872–1874); here they studied the fauna of Lake Baikal and other regions of eastern Siberia with the help of the Zoological Cabinet back in Poland. He settled in Sidemi Bay (1875), which now bears his name, and there created an experimental model farm. He bred a prize-winning strain of horses and domesticated deer, building the first herd in Russia, and cultivated ginseng. He managed the goldfields on Askold Island (1876) and later a printshop. He was a renowned hunter (called 'four -eyes' by the locals) yet advocated conservation of the Taiga and its fauna. His interests were very wide-ranging including astronomy, archaeology (a local prehistoric culture still bears the name 'Jankowski Culture'), agriculture, geography and all natural history. He discovered three birds as well as over 100 species of butterfly, 17 of which carry his name. His son Y. M. Jankowski (q.v.) also had a bird named for him.
Eurasian Magpie ssp. Pica pica jankowskii Stegmann, 1928 NCR [JS Pica pica anderssoni]
Yura (George) Michailowitch Jankowski (sometimes 'Yankovsky') (1879–1956) was a hunter who lived in the region of Vladivostock, and then (1923) North Korea.
Michał Jankowski (1842-1912) Polish naturalist exiled to Siberia 1863-1903 (syn. Cygnus columbianus bewickii, Emberiza, syn. Pica pica sericea).
Jankowski, who had Russified his name to Mikhail Ivanovich (Yanovich) Yankovsky, settled in Ussuriland in the Russian Far East
If the Pica pica jankowskii was for his son is unknown to me as I haven't seen the OD and if I would not be able to read the russian text. But if the answer is yes the BOW key need some correction.
