Does anyone know if this gentleman was married and if his wife or children names may Eva/Eve or Catharina/Katharina?
Of course OD here gives us no hint and a quck look here or here not either.
So maybe Coeligena iris eva and Eriocnemis luciani catharina can be solved if we would know his wife/siblings or or as the english say to kill two birds with one stone. (in german zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe schlagen).
Of course the names may related to Salvin and as he referenced to On birds collected in Peru by Mr. O. T. Baron there might be a realationship to Count Hans Hermann Carl Ludwig Graf von Berlepsch or any other person in contact with Salvin e.g. Frederick DuCane Godman. If Wikipedia is correct with Godman...
Would also fit to the time of OD. Grave here. There seems to even something in The Ibis about Eva Mary Godman.
No. 5 – baroni in …
● Violet-throated Metaltail Metallura baroni SALVIN 1893
● Baron's Spinetail Cranioleuca baroni SALVIN 1895
● the debated species (or subspecies) Baron's Hermit Phaethornis (longirostris) baroni HARTERT 1897 a k a " Baron's Long-billed Hermit"
As well as the less debated sub-species:
● Atlapetes latinuchus baroni SALVIN 1895
● Cantorchilus superciliaris baroni HELLMAYR 1902
= the German sailor, later engineer, entomologist and collector Oskar Theodor Baron (1847–1926), who collected both Birds and Insects (esp. Butterflies) in Peru, Mexico and Ecuador – whose first name (in English) often is written as Oscar.
