I know this question does not fit to etymology but some of the expedition members have at least their dedication e.g. erlangeri, hilgerti, neumanni, meneliki, ellenbecki, holtemulleri.
OK. After checking them in the key as well some enhancement:
But one question not related to etymology remains . Where is Biar-Woraba in Abyssinia. It should be south of Harar but I failed to find it? Does anyone know the current name of this place?

- holtemulleri: Johann Michael Holtermüller (1865-1931), cartograph at the Erlanger expedition Abyssinia and before in Tunesia. here
- ellenbecki: Hans Ellenbeck-Hilden Author of Beobachtungen uber Malaria: Gesammelt auf einer Expedition in Nordost-Afrika 1900-1901 and of course the physician of the expedition.
