He's as well the Author (Auctor) of many, many Bird taxa (as Sushkin, alt. Suschkin), and as such listed by Zoonomen as:
Sushkin, Petr Petrovich 1868-1928

[Also as Suschkin]​
Click to expand...

In my notes (and MS), I have him (Петр Петрович Сушкин) as the same (anglicism); "Petr Petrovich Sushkin (1868–1928)", a k a ditto "Suschkin" (in German), commemorated in the Swedish Common/Vernacular name "Sushkins gås” (meaning Sushkin's Goose), for [the today invalid, or (rare) colour morph] ”Anser neglectus” alt. ”Anser fabalis neglectus”.

As far as I know we haven't dealt with him, in person, nor with any sushkini Birds, but we've been looking at quite a few Birds presented by him (and his colleagues), see here.

I guess the only question remaining would be regarding his given name/s (incl. the patronymic one): Peter/Petr/Pyotr/Pjotr Petro...

By the way, didn't he share his first Given name with 'Peter the Great', alt. Peter I, or Pyotr Alekséyevich (1672–1725)? :unsure:

As far as I know he's not commemorated in any Bird taxon, nor is he listed as an Author (Auctor) by Zoonomen.

However, note that his name also is/was written as "Ferdinanda Štolla (1874–1966)", alt. "Ferdinands Erdmans Štolls" (? Inflected form?), in Latvian, by one of the same Authors (i.e. Ruslans Matrozis), in 2020 (here), abstracts below:
Matrozis R.2020. Ieskats Ferdinanda Štolla (1874–1966) darbībā putnu taksidermijā un ooloģijā

Rakstā apkopota informācija par baltvācu izcelsmes ornitologa Ferdinanda Štolla (Ferdinand Stoll, 1874–1966) profesionālo darbību putnu taksidermijā un ooloģiskās kolekcijas veidošanā periodā no 1897. līdz 1931. gadam, strādājot gan savā privātajā Dermoplastikas laboratorijā, gan vāciskās Rīgas Dabaspētnieku biedrības muzejā par konservatoru (fondu glabātāju). Lielākā daļa no zināmajiem F. Štolla izgatavotajiem putnu izbāžņiem un olu kolekcija mūsdienās glabājas Latvijas Dabas muzejā. Īpaši vērtīga ir apjomīga putnu olu kolekcija, kurā ir pārstāvētas arī sugas, kuras mūsdienās Latvijā vairs neligzdo (lielais piekūns, Šinca šņibītis, vidējais ērglis). Muzeja kolekcija var lepoties ar vairākiem F. Štolla izgatavotiem vai viņa darbības laikā kolekciju papildinošiem putnu izbāžņiem ar vēsturisku vērtību, tai skaitā ar pirmajiem vairāku sugu sastapšanas gadījumiem Latvijā (mazā zoss, baltacis, dūņšņibītis un resnknābja kaira).


Matrozis R. 2020. Insight into the activities of Ferdinand Stoll (1874-1966) in avian taxidermy and oology

The article summarizes information about the professional activity of the Baltic-German ornithologist Ferdinand Stoll (1874-1966) in bird taxidermy and the formation of an oological collection, from 1897 to 1931, at which time he worked both at his private Dermoplasty Laboratory and in the Riga Naturalist Society Museum as a conservator (curator of the collection). The greater part of the bird taxidermy made by F. Stoll and his collection of bird eggs are now stored in the Latvian Museum of Natural History. The large collection of bird eggs, which contains species that no longer nest in Latvia today (Peregrine Falcon, Dunlin, and Greater Spotted Eagle) is especially valuable. The museum is especially honoured to have several specimens of bird taxidermy with historical value made by F. Stoll, including the first observations of several species in Latvia (Lesser white- fronted goose, Ferruginous duck, Broad-billed sandpiper, and Brünnich’s guillemot).
Click to expand...

Either way, he's not to confuse with the (far, far earlier) Dutch naturalist Caspar Stoll who described, for example, the Moth "Phalaena zelica" STOLL 1790 (as dealt with/mentioned earlier here [in (the PS. of) post #147 + in #155–157].

Disclaimer; The former Mr Stoll (alt. Štolla) is not included in my MS, nor is he found in my notes, thus I haven't checked him any further than the above.

Click to expand...

His given name is most frequently spelled Петр, although it is sometimes given as Пётр as well (e.g., Russian Wikipiedia). A strict transliteration would be Petr for the former and Pëtr/Pyotr/Pjotr for the latter. But the distinction between е (ye) and ë (yo) in the Cyrillic alphabet is 'relatively' recent (ë was created by a Russian writer in 1797), and has always remained more or less optional in Russian - ë is mostly used in formal/academical contexts (i.a., dictionaries or encyclopedias), but often replaced by е otherwise. The pronunciation of the name is the same whatever the spelling - something like Pyot'r.

For the record, I have seen him cited as Pierre Souchkine as well (mostly in French texts, but not only - e.g., death notice in BBOC: v.49=no.326-334 (1928-1929) - Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club - Biodiversity Heritage Library ).

The name of Peter the Great (1672-1725) is regularly written Пётр in Russian, but the letter ё did not actually exist during his lifetime. (And, as he promoted the use of French at his court, he probably himself 'spelled' it Pierre, anyway. ;))

You also have the Falconidae Sushkinia pliocaenica Tugarinov, 1935, renamed by Nikita Zelenkov in 2015 Petrosushkinia pliocaenica (Tugarinov, 1935) because the name was preoccupied by Sushkinia Martinov, 1930. (Insecta: Permolestidae). It is from the Late Miocene of Kazachstan and the Miocene-Late Pliocene of Mongolia. I suppose it is the same professor Sushkin.

Yes, it's the same P. P. Sushkin in all cases, recently dead and author of the description of Permian reptiles (e.g. v.5 (1921-1931) - Occasional papers of the Boston Society of Natural History - Biodiversity Heritage Library ) in 1930, покойн[ий]/verstorben and author of a monograph on the osteology of Falconidae (t.16 (1898-1905) - Nouveaux mémoires de la Société impériale des naturalistes de Moscou - Biodiversity Heritage Library ) in 1935.

Ornithologische Mitteilungen 68 (7/8): pp.259-266 (2016) [unseen by me]

Commemorated in a fair amount of loudoni Birds (see the Key, here):
loudoni
Harald Georg Gideon Freiherr von Loudon (1876-1959) Baltic German naturalist, explorer in the Caucasus and Turkistan 1895-1914 (subsp. Carduelis carduelis, syn. Hirundo rustica, Lanius collurio x Lanius isabellinus hybrid, Remiz pendulinus x Remiz macronyx hybrid, syn. Sturnus vulgaris porphyronotus, syn. Turdus viscivorus, syn. Upupa epops).

He's as well the Author (Auctor), of quite a few Bird taxa (as Loudon, alt. von Loudon), also as co-author (together with "Zarudny") of even more Birds, thus listed by Zoonomen as:
(Zarudny)
& Loudon​
Loudon, Harald von Freiherr 1876-1959
Click to expand...

None of the loudoni Birds has been dealt with earlier here on the Bird Name Etymology sub-forum, but some of the taxa he described, together with "Zarudny", has been studied (see for example/s, here).

In my (Swedish) MS he's only mentioned briefly, as (nothing but) the German-Baltic ornithologist "Harald von Loudon", when he (together with "Zarudnyj") coined the Generic name Pseudopodoces 1902 (for "Podoces humilis"). Above that I haven't checked him any further than above* (at least not in any depth).
​
*The German Title Freiherr (friherre, in Swedish), is the closest Noble rank to 'Baron'.

I can't find him listed as an author on Zoonomen either, but he did describe and name birds (one of which commemorated PP Sushkin and already listed in my post #47 above). On a quick search (may well be incomplete) :
setshuanica is not in the Key - but "setschuanus / setschuanica" is. (And may actually be intended for the present name ? I don't readily find any other bird named setschuanica.)

1650620593822.png

("Setshuan" / "setshuanischen" appear in total 7 times, on the 3rd to 7th pages of the paper; but "Setschuan" / "setschuanischen" are also used, three times in total, all in the introductory text on the 2nd page. I guess this might be seen as correctable, although this is probably a type of thing that is doomed to be a bit controversial. Anyway, the name is not in use.)

This paper is described as: Annotated list of 30 subspecies of 20 bird species described from Belarus and nearby countries in 2009 –2011 by the German ornithologist О. А. Oleksas is presented. The author consistently uses the zoogeographic species concept, which allows nomenclature designation of separate vicariant populations possessing at least minimal differences in morphological characters. Brief critical notes are given on some subspecies (Norhern Wryneck Jynx torquilla, Eurasian Jay Garrulus glandarius, Eurasian Nuthatch Sitta europaea, Common Reed Bunting Emberiza schoeniclus). Although studies of available collection material confirmed in a few cases the presence of some variability in size and coloration (e. g. Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio, Song Thrush Turdus philomelos, Garden Warbler Sylvia borin, Common Chaffinch Fringilla coelebs), it looks like at least a part of the Olexas’ new names will be eventually synonimized with already existing ones. It was noted that type series of these new subspecies remain not designated in the corresponding depositories.
In: https://elib.bsu.by/bitstream/123456789/158896/1/13-18.pdf . And as Bjorn has stated elsewhere O. A. Oleksas is Uwe Alex.
