The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:

Shelley's Francolin ssp. Scleroptila shelleyi macarthuri Someren, 1938
White-starred Robin ssp. Pogonocichla stellata macarthuri Someren,1939
C. G. MacArthur (fl.1915–1945) collected entomological specimens at Merifano (1932) on the Tana River in Kenya. He was employed by the Kenya Game Departement (1939-1945). A mammal is named after him.

The Key to Scientific Names

C. G. MacArthur (fl. 1943) entomologist, collector with Kenya Game Dept. 1939-1943 (subsp. Pogonocichla stellata, subsp. Scleroptila shelleyi).

What his first/middle name was I have no idea as well when he was born. He may or may not have died 1945.

Cuthbert Geary MacArthur

Baptised	1896 Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India
Residence	1911 England
Marriage	22 Jul 1933 Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya
Death	27 Nov 1958 Kenya

Father	John Thomas MacArthur (1854-1920)
Mother	Catherine Helen Ryall
Spouse	Isabel Florence Mouncey GILFILLAN (1904-1932)

Note Some documents have 1893 as his birth date but this seems to be because he lied about his age at enlistment in 1911 - after the war he suddenly became 3 years younger (ie b. 1896) and if he was baptised shortly after birth then this conforms to his baptism date.

Somehow I expected such a result. As usual well done and thank's as well for all the other valued input.
