Here´s some minor plausible(!) additions on today's HBW Alive Key entry regarding:
• Tawny-browed Owl Pulsatrix koeniswaldiana BERTONI & BERTONI 1901 [Note: OD (Anales científicos paraguayos; 1901, p.175) unseen by me], however see Aves nuevas del Paraguay published the same year (here) as "Syrinium Koeniswaldianum" ... "(sp. n.)":
• the invalid "Picolaptes Koeniswaldianus" BERTONI 1901 (same, latter Paper, p.73) [synonym of (Lepidocolaptes) Xiphorhynchus fuscus VIEILLOT 1818]:
However; no dates, nor year of neither his birth nor death found.
See here, here and elswhere ... I guess you need to know German to get the full picture!
Anyone disagree?

Dr Gustav Koeniswald (fl. 1901) German ornithologist resident in Brazil (syn. Lepidocolaptes fuscus, Pulsatrix).

• the invalid "Picolaptes Koeniswaldianus" BERTONI 1901 (same, latter Paper, p.73) [synonym of (Lepidocolaptes) Xiphorhynchus fuscus VIEILLOT 1818]:

Gustav von Königswald ... present in Brazil (Sao Paolo) in the 1890's and early 1900's (at least until 1908) a k a Gustav von Koenigswald alt. Gustavo Koeniswald (both in Brazil). If resident in Brazil is unknown to me.(Etimol.: de Picolaptes, n. adopt. por Berlepsch; especie dedicada al célebre ornitólogo de S. Pablo (Brasil Dr. Gustavo Koeniswald ),
