From what I know Hartlaub's Francolin (Francolinus) Pternistis hartlaubi BOCAGE 1869 (a k a "Hartlaub's Spurfowl") commemorates (among many other birds) the well-known German ornithologist, Professor Carl Johann Gustav Hartlaub (1814–1900).
This Francolin was described by the Portuguese ornithologist Barboza du Bocage as "Francolinus Hartlaubi" on page 350 (Attached) in: Barboza du Bocage, J V. 1869. Aves das possessões portugezas d’Africa occidental. Zoologia. Jornal de sciencias mathematicas, physicas, e naturaes; publicado sob’ auspicios da Academia Real das Sciencas de Lisboa 2 (8): 333-352.

… with the following, short motivation:
I think I get the drift of it (with help of the "risky" Google translate, I don´t know any Portuguese at all) … that the two [srs. = séniores] Mr. Hartlaub and Mr. Finsch to some extent had examined it … but I hope that someone who does know Portuguese can translate it more properly?"Um e outro foram eximinados pelos srs. Hartlaub e Finsch que os consideram representantes de uma especie nova e mui bem caracterisada."
