There is a new book about Henry Dresser and it has Appendix 3 that lists birds named for Henry Dresser. In US I can see a small part of page 281 listing Accento fulvescens dresseri, Carencochrous dresseri and Merops dresseri.

I have the new book about Dresser - but my wife has squirrelled it away until Christmas!!
Carenochrous = Atlapetes; Accentor = Prunella

This seems to be the full content of Appendix 3.

Perhaps unimportant, but the accentor was actually introduced in the genus Prunella, not Accentor as suggested here.
Prunella fulvescens dresseri Hartert 1910 [OD] (current status following IOC: subspecies of the Brown Accentor Prunella fulvescens dresseri).
New name for Accentor fulvescens var. pallidus Dresser 1895 (ex Severtsov, MS) [OD], preoccupied in Prunella by Tarrhaleus pallidus Menzbier 1887 [OD], a junior synonym (by a couple of months) of Accentor koslowi Przhevalski 1887 [OD] (full access only through the US, sorry).
