Phaethornis longuemareus (1 Viewer)

In HBW Alive is written:

(according to Beolens & Watkins 2003, this hummingbird was named for Alphonse Pierre François le Touze de Longuemare (1803-1881) French amateur collector)).

I support more James opinion about Agathe-François Gouÿe de Longuemare (1792-1866) but think he was born 1790. See here where it is written:

Cet oiseau a été dédié par Lesson à M. Goüye de Longuemare, naturaliste, à qui l'on doit la description de plusieurs espèces nouvelles d'Oiseaux-Mouches. M. de Longuemare était né en 1790; il est mort en 1866, chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, et sous-chef de bureau en retraite, du ministère de la marine.

Unfortunatelly the original description and here give no dedication.

As well Anthreptes longuemarei does not show a dedication.

See earlier thread: The mysterious Monsieur Longuemare in Longuemare's Sunangel … (here)

Or can you prove us wrong?

OK missed that. Thank's.

Hi James, think 1792 was correct if you read the thread Björn mentioned. So the change in HBW Alive based on my comment was wrong. This was an error by Mulsant.
