Forsskål's Kite (1 Viewer)

Today's updated HBW Alive Key now have the following explanation:
forskahli / forskahlii / forskali / forskalii
Prof. Petrus Forsskål (1732-1763) Swedish zoologist, botanist, orientalist, pharmacologist, explorer in Arabia 1761-1763 (syn. Lophoceros nasutus, syn. Milvus migrans aegyptius).
Concordance and harmony rules.

Also see "Milvus Forskahli (Gmel.)" sensu Gurney (in Andersson), 1872 [here], there not described as new, but equal of today's Milvus (migrans) aegyptius parasitus DAUDIN 1800.

PS. This said; even if I still (stubbornly) claim his true (Swedish) name was Peter Forsskål. ;)
