As per day is the key:

Friedrich Bohndorff (1848-?1895) German naturalist, explorer, collector in tropical Africa 1876-1884 (subsp. Anthus leucophrys, subsp. Cyanomitra verticalis, Phyllanthus, syn. Ploceus cucullatus, syn. Strix woodfordi nuchalis).

In here is written p. 340:

Friedrich Bohndorff, am 16. August 1849 zu Plau in Mecklenburg geboren,...

OK here the birth is 1848 and here again 1849.

in Amtsblatt des Reichskolonialamt 1890 p. 195 I found here:

Deckoffizier Friedrich Bohndorff, geb. am 15. August 1855 zu Plau (Mecklenburg-Schwerin); Station Bagamoyo.

So most likely i think he was born 1849. If he is mentioned in the year 1890 he may was still alive at that time.

Bohndorff published a list of birds from Afrika for sale in a 1893 Ornithologische Monatsberichte showing he was living in Berlin.

If we can trust Wikipedia

The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:

The Key to Scientific Names

Anthus leucophrys bohndorffi Neumann, 1906 OD here
Ploceus cucullatus bohndorffi Reichenow, 1887 OD here
Cyanomitra verticalis bohndorffi Reichenow, 1887 OD here
Phyllanthus atripennis bohndorffi Sharpe, 1884 OD here

Pionias bohndorffi Sharpe 1884 here (syn. Poicephalus flavifrons) mentioned here by Reichenow or here by Erlanger is a valid name in terms of the code.

Take it for what it is worth.
