Björn Bergenholtz
(former alias "Calalp")
I continue to clean up my desk, so here's a minor addition (a birth year) on the eponym ...
rohdei as in:
• the invalid "Thamnophilus rohdei" BERLEPSCH 1887 (here + Plate, here) [Synonym of Great Antshrike Taraba major VIEILLOT 1816]
= the German (i.e. Prussian) adventurer, explorer, trader and collector (of both various Naturalia and ethnological items) Richard Rohde (1855–xxxx) a k a Ricardo Rohde
Born 1855, in Tilsit, East Prussia (today's Sovetsk, Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia ...) ... resident in Agentina and Paraguay during most of the 1880's, mostly knowns as a collector in the latter country, during the mid 1880's. In the late 1880's he seems to have left for New Guinea (where we find him in 1890), and after that ... he vanished! No year, nor date found on his death. And no date regarding his birth.
See (for examples) the following links; here, here and here.
For what it´s worth!
