Here´s a minor, possible, addition on Mr. Unger ...
While randomly checking some eponyms that might, could have been Swedish I found this guy in today's HBW Alive Key:
ungeri as in:
• the invalid "Ortalis canicollis ungeri" STEINBACHER1962 (Note: OD unseen by me) ... as he collected the type (at least according to the Richmond card, here)
He certainly wasn´t Swedish ... but nor do I think he was German, but Ukrainian ...
Jakob Unger (1894–1959) a k a Jacob ditto, was born in "Podolsk" today's Novopodolsk (Dnipropetrovsk Oblast), in Ukraine, Son of Jakob Unger and his wife Anna née Epp.
For what it´s worth!

See the following links; here and here.Jakob Unger was a skilled hunter and self-taught taxidermist. He was a keen observer of wildlife. He provided thousands of specimens of Paraguayan birds and animals to museums, predominantly to the Senckenberg Museum in Germany.
