Hirundo urbica vogti O. Kleinschmidt, 1943 OD Katalog meiner ornithologischen Sammlung : 61, 1943 (Not seen)

The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:
Common House Martin ssp. Hirundo urbica vogti O. Kleinschmidt, 1943 NCR [JS Delichon urbicum urbicum]
Vogt (DNF) was a collector for Kleinschmidt and that is about all the etymology that there is. He collected the holotype (1916) in the Odenwald mountain range in Germany. We have been unable to discover anything more about him.

The old key:
Vogt (fl. 1916) German collector for Kleinschmidt (per Beolens et al., 2014) (cf. Prof. August Carl Christoph Vogt (1817-1895) German scientist) (syn. Delichon urbicum).

From here p. 142 of 482 (or 130 of Gefiederte Welt) we can conclude a priest.

Pfr . Vogt , Niedernhausen i . Odenwald

He is mentioned as well in Proceedings of the International Ornithological Congress 1911 here

Vogt , Pfarrer , Niedernhausen , Post Groß - Bieberau , Gr . Hessen

From here I would say:

10) am 9. November dem Pfarrverwalter Richard Vogt zu Mainz die evangelische Pfarrstelle zu Niedernhausen , im Dekanat Reinheim , zu übertragen.

According here he was priest in Niedernhausen from/to

Richard Vogt – 1895-1925

It could be that he was born 1861 in Prauß Kr. Nimptsch here.

Maybe we can get his life dates?

If it's the right Richard Vogt will look into birth certificate. P

This was a Pfarrer, which is in any case consistent with Martin's info.
Death date 13 Oct 1927 indeed; 62 yo, thus born ca. 1865.
His wife was named Martha, born Böhme.
 
It is not

Name:Richard Vogt
Gender:Male
Baptism Age:0
Birth Date:13. Feb 1865 (13 Feb 1865)
Baptism Date:5. Mrz 1865 (5 Mar 1865)
Baptism Place:Evangelisch (Burgkirche), Friedberg, Oberhessen, Hesse-Darmstadt
Residence Place:Friedberg, Oberhessen, Hessen-Darmstadt
Father:Christian Konrad Vogt
Mother:Karoline Amend


BUT it is a Pfarrer who died in Niedernhausen two years after our Richard Vogt retired as parish priest for Niedernhausen. I can see no evidence that the Pfr Richard Voight born in 1861 in Prauß Kr. Nimptsch is our guy.

Indeed that 1861 guy seems to have died in 1899 close to where he was born.

Name:Richard Vogt
Death Age:38
Event Type:Beerdigung (Burial)
Birth Date:abt 1861
Death Date:8 Jan 1899
Burial Date:12 Jan 1899
Burial Place:Breslau, Schlesien, Deutschland (Germany)

Yes, yours is the correct on. No doubt. As in one of the links in my post we can also read:

Pfarrer Baumann blieb bis zu seinem Tod in Niedernhausen wohnen, sein ehemaliges Anwesen findet sich heute noch in den Eckwiesen. Auch Pfarrer Vogt fand seine letzte Ruhe, wie im Übrigen auch Pfarrer Baumann, auf dem Friedhof in Niedernhausen.
