Without checking any deeper I think there is a typo in the key entry of geyri. I think the e in his last name should be removed. See here.


Hans Freiherr Geyer von Schweppenburg

Obituary; in the Ibis 106 (here); "Professor Dr. Hans Freiherr Geyr von Schweppenburg".

PS. At least the Desert Lark subspecies Ammomanes deserti geyri HARTERT 1924 (here) ... fits like a glove!
Named after Dr. Geyr von Schweppenburg, the first ornithological explorer of Ahaggar.

The other two (synonyms) I haven't checked.
