OD we can find here. I am pretty sure it is him here

How did I come to this conclusion? Maria da Conceição Kubitschek de Oliveira was the sister of Juscelino Kubitschek. Ruschi dedicated him Amazilia versicolor kubtchecki.

In here we can find:

Foi na casa de Júlio Soares, grande médico de Belo Horizonte, que por amar esses pequenos pássaros tornou-se mais tarde grande amigo de Augusto Ruschi.

I would say he was rather pysician than zoologist. Take it for what it is worth Julio Soares (1898-1975) over and out.

P.S. Not to be confused with Abilio Monteiro Soares (1914-1985) here or the herpetologist Marcelo de Araújo Soares.

Dr Soares's Visorbearer

Here's a quick look at this topic ...

... with some texts, clearly verifying the link/s, connections between "Augusto Ruschi" and/or "Dr. Juscelino Kubitschek" with "Dr. Júlio Soares" (also with Hummingbirds), possibly adding some details on Dr Soares himself, see; here, here (p.2), here, here or here (all in Portuguese) ... and elsewhere.

Take it all for what it's worth. If anything? (I don't understand Portuguese at all)

PPS. This said without any other knowledge what-so-ever of Dr. Soares (he not one of "mine", and I´d never heard of him before this thread), neither do I know if he (also) was a zoologist, or not, nor if the guy with the same name, introduced in #1 (i.e. with the Life span; "1898-1975") was/is equal "our guy" ... but it sure looks like it!

Faster than the speeding bullet, that's me! When at home I tend to check BirdForum two or three times a day, so remember always to check the current entry before quoting from the Key (see the final paragraph of Guide to Key Entries). Carry on the good work.

Just what the The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims with no additional information:

Hyacinth Visorbearer ssp. Augastes scutatus soaresi Ruschi, 1963
Dr Júlio Soares (DNF) was a Brazilian zoologist.
