So I think he died 1948 and not 1958. But feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
Obs. The two specimens, now in the Tring Museum, were obtained by Mr. Gustav Schneider, after whom the species has been named.
The Eponym Dictionary of Birds
Schneider's Pitta Hydrornis schneideri Hartert, 1909
Gustav Schneider (1867-1958) was a Swiss zoologist who collected in Sumatra (1897) for the museum in Basel. F. Werner wrote an article on 'Reptilien und Batrachier aus Sumatra gesammelt von Herrn Gustav Schneider im Jahre 1897/1898' (1900). There is some confusion as Gustav Schneider Snr. (1834-1900) had also been conservator at Basel (1859-1875), but given the timing of the description we are confident that the eponym is for the younger man. An amphibian is named after him.
