Here another small, additional info on:

riveti
● as in the subspecies (Dendroma?) Philydor rufum riveti MENEGAUX & HELLMAYR 1906 (here*) as "Philydor columbianus riveti"
= the French ethnologist, Dr. (physician) Paul Adolph Rivet (1876–1958), explorer of (and collector in) Ecuador 1901–1906.

Mr. Rivet was apparently born 7 May 1876, in Wasigny, a small village in Lorraine, Ardennes … and he died 25 March 1958 in Paris. **

* No. 77, page 89 (not p. 49, as claimed by Zoonomen)
** At least according to that useful article (here) that Mark found (well done!)

Notre sociéte est en deuil. Celui qui en fut l’âme durant tant d’annés s’est éteint à Paris le 21 mars dernier, à la suite d’une longue et douloureuse maladie.
Paul Rivet naquit à Wasigny, dans les Ardennes, le 7 mai 1876. ... and onwards ​
