Here´s a little bonus that I accidently happened to stumble upon when I tried to follow the trail of Monsieur Pesquet (see thread The mysterious Monsieur ... ) in a possible connection to a certain mentioned "M. Canivet" (in the assumption, or long-shot, that he was either a friend, colleague or acquaintance, hopefully being equal to the Emmanuel Canivet in "canivetii" (in HBW Alive) … and there he was! Mr. Canivet … another almost unknown man, as in:
● Canivet's Emerald Chlorostilbon canivetii LESSON 1832 a k a "Fork-tailed Emerald" or "Canivet's Fork-tailed Emerald"
= The French (taxidermist alt. conservator) Emmanuel Jacques Canivet (1796–1849), from Carentan.
He was apparently born 4 May 1796, in Carentan (a small rural town, in the Region Basse-Normandie, Normandy), North-western France (74 km West of Pesquet's Caen), son of Jacques François Louis CANIVET (1764–1808), and Anne Françoise ADDE (1755–1823) … later in life he worked as "Préparateur au musée communal" (at the local Museum) in Mons, Belgium … where he died the 11 December 1849 – at the age of 53.
See link to LA GRANDE FAMILLE CANIVET written by one of his relatives! No rock-solid proof, but I think the author, "C. Canivet", know the subject. Also compare with the link to Geneanet.
I think it´s fairly safe to say: One mysterious eponym less!
PS. Even if it didn´t take me any further regarding mr. Pesquet.
