Corrado a print error?

The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:

Chiguanco Thrush ssp. Turdus chiguanco conradi Salvadori & Festa, 1899
Conrado Festa (fl.1899) was an Italian lawyer who was a generous donor of Orthoptera to the Turin Zoological Museum. His son was the junior author, Dr E. Festa.

The Key to Scientific Names

Conrad or Corrado Festa (fl. 1890) Italian advocate, father of zoologist Dr Enrico Festa (subsp. Turdus chiguanco).

Maybe the life dates will be here found?

Corrado a print error?

Corrado is the (only) correct Italian equivalent of Conrad. Conrado is Spanish / Portuguese. (I assume conradi was intended as the genitive of the traditional latinized form Conradus. I see no good reasons to think a printer error was involved.)
