Suddenly I feel less sorry that I re-opened this old thread.kalinowskii
Jan Kalinowski (1857-1941) Polish collector ...
see e.g. (in Polish):

There should be lots of other links in Polish - they are well known naturalists.
Phrygilus gayi koslowskii Lowe 1923 ? Current entry in the Key:And found as well Julian German Kozłowski 1866-1923 e.g.here. So why Julian H. Kozłowski? Not sure if there is bird dedicated to him.
The OD (Ibis 1923:515-516) just notes that the type (and several other specimens from the same locality kept in the British Museum, that are thus paratypes) was collected by "J. Koslowsky", in 1901 in the Valle del Lago Blanco, Chuput, Patagonia.koslowskii
Julio Germán Koslowsky (born Julius Kazlauskas) (fl. 1920) Lithuanian/Argentinian naturalist, collector, pioneer explorer in Patagonia (syn. Phrygilus gayi caniceps).
(I'm a bit unclear what makes him Polish in the current sense of the term. Neither does he seem to have been Lithuanian, actually.)
Not only for you, I thinkBut the whole history in this turbulent times is very complicated (at least for me).
Taphrospilus;3579362 So why Julian [B said:H.[/B] Kozłowski?
Hedwige Gräfin Branicka (fl. 1901) mother of Polish zoologist Ksawery Graf Branicki (syn. Chlorochrysa fulgentissima, syn. Metallura eupogon).
hedvigae (Metallura): for ”Madame la Comtesse Hedvige Branicka”. Name was given by Taczanowski in 1874. The countess is also commemorated in the name hedwigae (Chlorochrysa).
hedwigae (Chlorochrysa): H.Berlepsch & J.Stolzmann, 1901: ”Nous nous permettons de dédier cette belle espèce, qui est très distincte des espèces connues du genre Chlorochrysa, à Mme. La Comtesse Hedwige Branicka, mère de Xavier Branicki.” (we permit ourselves to dedicate this beautiful species, which is very distinct from the known species of the genus Chlorochrysa, to Madam Countess H.B., mother of X.B. See also hedvigae)
Well found!
Soo it seem, "Lesbia victoriae juliae" HARTERT 1899 (as "Psalidoprymna juliae")... now suddenly, in this entry from 1902 (according to von Berlepsch & Stolzmann) contradicts HBW Alive ... !?
Let´s wait for James ...
Black-tailed Trainbearer ssp. Lesbia victoriae juliae Hartert, 1899
Hartert left no etymology and there are too many possible candidates to make even an inspired guess as to the 'Julia' in question. Oscar Theodor Baron collected the hummingbird holotype in Peru.
Sorry now it is me to reopen this thread as I found another dedication to the Branicki/Branicka family here. I am not sure how James came to
I feel with no clear evidence that the dedication might be for here:
Hedwige Comptesse Branicka née Potocka (1827-1916). Not sure if she was mother of Ksawery Graf Branicki as I do not understand this family.
OK. She seems to be the mother of Xavier Alexandre Ladislas Constantin Andrè Léon Branicki (1864-1926) (and Ksawery = Xavier). So the key seems to be correct and may only be enhanced by the birth and death date and née Potocka if James agree.
Or polish Jadwiga Branicka.

The first generation of the family were Alexander, Count Branicki1 (1821–1877), Hieronim Florian Radziwill Konstanty Count Branicki2 (1824–1884) and his wife Jadwiga (Hedwiga) Potocka, Countess Branicka3 (1827–1916) and the youngest brother Count Wladyslaw (Ladislas) Michael Branicki4 (1848– 1914). The next generation is represented by the son of Hieronim and Jadwiga, Xavier, Count Branicki5 (1864–1926) and and Countess Anna Branicka6 (1876–1953), who was a daughter of Count Wladyslaw (Ladislas) Michael Branicki. The superscript numbers refer to which family member eponymised in which birds. The wealthy aristocratic Polish Branicki family was very interested in hunting and Alexander and Konstanty started hunting abroad (1863), visiting Egypt, Sudan, Palestine and Algeria. Zoologists such as Taczanowski (q.v.) and Waga (q.v.) accompanied them and they were persuaded to take a more scientific approach to their favourite pastime (1867). They employed Konstanty Jelski (q.v.) to collect for them in South America. They also employed Jean Stanislas Stolzmann (q.v.), Mikhail Ivanovich Jankowski (q.v.) and Jan Kalinowski (q.v.) as collectors. This resulted in the creation of the Branicki Museum in Poland. Poland was then part of the Imperial Russian Empire and they feared that the museum in St Petersburg might be covetous and transfer the collections. So Konstanty decided to rotect it by establishing a private museum, which was achieved (1887) after his death by his nephew Wladyslaw and his own son Xavier. Following the Treaty of Versailles (1919) Poland became independent and the collections were transferred to the state.
It may be worth to update the The Key to Scientific Names - Birds of the World ?The Humming-bird "Spathura annæ" (today Ocreatus underwoodii annae) commemorates: his wife; Countesse Anna Branicka (female ending, common in Slavic languages, nee Anna Maria Potocka, 1863–1953).
