• Biografien osteuropäischer Ornithologen (28): András Keve (1909–1984), Bahnbrecher der modernen Feldornithologie und Faunistik in Ungarn sowie bedutendster Taxonom Mittelosteuropas, by Gábor Magyar & Uwe Alex. Ornithologische Mitteilungen 69 (11–12): pp.399–406 (2017) = here

As far as I know he's not commemorated in any Bird taxon. Though, he himself (together with miss Nicolette Sámuel) wrote a Paper in/on our particular Topic; Hungarian Ornithologists and Bird-Collectors Abroad and Overseas, published in Opuscula Zoologica (Budapest), 9 (2): pp.339-356 (1969), here (that might be of interest, for anyone curious on Eastern Europeans dittos).

He's also the Author (Auctor) of some Bird Taxa (as either Keve, Keve-Kleiner and/or just Kleiner), which makes "his" entry in Zoonomen a bit longer than usual:

Keve-Kleiner 1909-1984

Keve-Kleiner,András

b. 10 Nov. 1909 Budapest.
d. 30 Mar. 1984

Jiri Mlikovsy provides additional useful details (in litt. 2008.05.08)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here are a few comments on Keve/Kleiner. The man was a significant Hungarian ornithologist(living in 1909-1984). I do not know how exactly he was baptized, but he started to publish as "Kleiner", continuing as "Keve-Kleiner" and later as "Keve".

I was told by Ernst Bauernfeind (from the Wien Museum) that he changed his name for security reasons. "Kleiner" means "small, little" in German and it was dangerous to have a German name in the post-war Hungary. "Keve" means nothing in Hungarian, but "kevesebb" means "less, short", "kevesen" means "few in number", etc.

So I think "Keve" is an allusion of "Kleiner", though not an exact translation.


A bibliography of Hungarian ornithology (Budapest 1980) shows that Keve/Kleiner published under the following names:

Kleiner, Endre - in 1930-1942 (102 papers in all)

Keve-Kleiner, András - in 1943-1944 (17 papers are dated 1943, two papers are dated 1944)

Keve, András - in 1946-1979 (and perhaps later, but that period was not covered by the Bibliography).

The first name "Endre" is Hungarian, being equivalent to "András" (Hungarian), "Andreas" (in German) or "Andrew" (English). The reasons why Keve/Kleiner changed also his first name from one to another Hungarian version are unknown to me, but there was probably some period connotation of "Endre".

Keve/Kleiner used to translate his first name according to the language in which he wrote a paper, but only "Endre" and "András" were official.

An obituary of Keve/Kleiner was published here:

Jánossy, D. (1985) Dr. Keve András (1909-1984). - Aquila 92: 13-17.
(I do not have this volume at hand, so I could not consult the paper.
BTW: Its is written in Hungarian)


Note please that surname is written first in Hungarian, so "Keve András"
is used in Hungarian, while "András Keve" is used in most other languages

This guy, and the Birds he described, has been dealt with earlier (in brief), now and then, in various BirdForum threads, see here.

Jahrhunderts, by Uwe Alex & Jevgenij Šergalin. Ornithologische Mitteilungen 70 (Nr 1/2): pp.49–52 (2018) = here

As far as I know he's not commemorated in any Bird taxon, though he's the Author (Auctor) of a few Bird taxa (as Charlemagne), though I can't find him listed in/by Zoonomen. Some of those Birds were earlier dealt with, for example/s; here alt. here.

Disclaimer; this guy is not included in my MS, nor in my notes, thus I haven't checked him any further than the above.

However; he's certainly not to confuse with the French Navy officer Charlemagne Théophile Lefebvre (1811–1860).

Author (Auctor) of some Bird taxa (as Fediuschin), but neither he seems listed in Zoonomen's Author Index.

Last year (in August 2021) we had a look at him in thread Lyrurus tetrix fedjuschini Charlemagne, 1934 (here).

Ornithologische Mitteilungen 70 (5/6): pp.165–168 (2018) [unseen by me]

As far as I know he's not commemorated in any Bird taxon, though he's the Author (Auctor) of one single Bird taxon; "Alauda arvensis pusilla Ivanov, 1929", however he's not listed among the Authors in/by Zoonomen, and I don't think we've been dealing with his person earlier, not in this (sub-)Forum. Only with some of his texts.

Either way, I'm pretty sure he´s not to be confused with the Russian General Nikolai Alexandrovich Ivanov (1851–1918), commemorated in the (Crested) Lark ssp. Galerida cristata iwanowi Loudon & Sarudny, 1903.

Ornithologische Mitteilungen 70 (7/8): pp.221–226 (2018) [unseen by me]

Commemorated in one invalid koslovae Bird and two kozlovae/kozlowae taxa (see the Key, here and here) [my red bolds]:

koslovae
Elizaveta Vladimirovna Pushkariova-Kozlova (1892-1972) Russian ornithologist, wife of explorer Gen. Pyotr K. Kozlov (syn. Pterocles orientalis arenarius).

---

kozlovae / kozlowae
Elizaveta Vladimirovna Pushkariova-Kozlova (1892-1972) Russian ornithologist, wife of explorer Gen. Pyotr K. Kozlov (syn. Emberiza schoeniclus parvirostris, subsp. Lagopus lagopus).

She's equally the Author (Auctor) of a few Bird taxa (as Kozlova), though Zoonomen has her as (nothing but):

Kozlova, E.V.

Thus, her Death year seems to be in question ... !?! If not a typo in the former Paper/Title/Heading, of course ...

In my MS I have her as: Elizaveta Vladimirovna Kozlova (née/born Pushkariova, 1892–1975), mentioned in context of, alt. together with, her more well-known (and far older) husband Pjotr Kuzmitj Kozlov (1863–1935), whom she accompanied during his (very) last expedition (1923–1926). During this Expedition she herself collected more than 1700 Birds (of 306 different species, by/in the taxonomy of those days). In other texts she's a k a Elisabet alt. Elisabeth Pushkariova-Kozlova.
According to my notes she survived her husband with 40 years (and died 10th of February 1975).

As I remember it we haven't looked into her earlier. I think we've only been looking for (and finding) some of the OD's (commemorating her), like the "Schoeniclus schoeniclus kozlowae" (here). And, of course, she's also mentioned in post #47, in this thread ...

Both of the Kozlov couple have had their (personal) name transcribed/interpreted as either Koslov/a (which we prefer in Swedish), and/alt. Koslow/a, or even Kosloff(a), in German texts

Apparently commemorated in quite a few (invalid) tischleri Bird taxa (see the Key, here):

tischleri
Dr Friedrich Tischler (1881-1945) German magistrate in East Prussia, ornithologist (syn. Accipiter gentilis, syn. Coloeus monedula soemmerringii, syn. Emberiza calandra, syn. Poecile montanus borealis).

And, he doesn't seem to be found among the Authors (Auctors) listed in/by Zoonomen.

I don't think we've been dealing with him earlier, not more than searching (in vain) for the OD of "Emberiza calandra tischleri", by "Oleksas" (i.e. ALEX) 2011 (here). By the look of the Key, it looks like James did find the publication by himself!

Though, I can't help wondering why a Baltic guy would name a (Corn) Bunting ssp. (in 2011) after an old Prussian fellow (ornithologist), who died many years before the Author (Auctor) himself was born!? Interesting ...

Other than that I don't think we've been closer to Herr Tischler than in Kleinschmidt's 1938 Dedication here (even if we, at that time, didn't follow this particular guy).

Without seeing Oleksas' booklet, I guess that a doubt may remain about the dedicatee. It can be noted, however, that the range given for Emberiza calandra tischleri by Oleksas 2015 was "Северо-Восточная Польша, Южная Литва, Калининградская область" (Northeastern Poland, Southern Lithuania, Kaliningrad Oblast), which matches East Prussia quite well, and that he referred to a book by Tischler (Tischler F. 1941. Die Vögel Ostpreuβens und seiner Nachbargebiete. Vol. 1-2. Königsberg, Berlin.) on the same page in his account of the taxonomy of Emberiza citrinella; Tischler also did publish specifically about Emberiza calandra (Jahrg.66;Suppl.Jahrg.66 (1918) - Journal für Ornithologie - Biodiversity Heritage Library ).

• Just what is the relationship with Falco journal and Berajah, zoographia infinita???

The title pages of Falco indicate "unregelmässig im Anschluss an das Werk "Berajah, Zoographia infinita" erscheinende Zeitschrift" ≃ journal published irregularly in complement to the work "Berajah, Zoographia infinita".
Berajah was Kleinschmidt's 'great work', which appeared in Lieferungen that each treated an entire Formenkreis / Realgattung (more or less equivalent to a superspecies -- these were the groups that really mattered to Kleinschmidt). As I understand it, here and there, one of these Lieferungen came with an issue of Falco. The latter was more dedicated to smaller questions and side issues, and was also used for various types of announcements.

Falco can be found online up to vol. 20 (1924) at BHL or Zobodat (and up to vol. 25 (1929).
The only significant part of Berajah that I know of online is one Lieferung in Hathi here (Die Realgattung Habicht, Falco Palumbarius (Kl.), published in 1922), which should be viewable from the US (but is not from Europe). Besides this, the only small bits of this work that I have seen online have been scans or pics of individual pages (often quite nice plates showing the geographical variation in a Formenkreis) on second-hand book websites.

Kleinschmidt's nomenclature appears to have been quite peculiar, because he used a separate set of name for groups he called Formenkreise / Realgattungen, between species and genus. The names he used at this rank ended up including a mixture of names identical to names that had been used as species-group names, names identical to names that had been used as genus-goup names, and wholly new names; he capitalized these name; he treated them as a distinct nomenclatural set, with the precedence among them being fixed by the date of their first use as a Formenkreis name after 1900. Meanwhile, he deliberately used extremely broad genera for his time, which adds to the peculiarity of his classifications (e.g., he placed all the diurnal birds of prey that were not falcons or vultures in the same genus Praedo, all the gallinaceous birds in either Phasianus or Tetrao, all the ducks that were not mergansers in Anas).
See his Ornis germanica (1917) to get an idea of the result -- it's well... Atypical. (To say the least.)
Kleinschmidt's Formenkreis names have generally been ignored by those who did not adopt his system. Many are neither in the Key nor in the Richmond Index (although some are -- e.g., Turdus Bragi was a Formenkreis name and is in the Key (as a syn. of Turdus philomelos) and in the Richmond Index; but names like Erithacus Poeta or Erithacus Astrologus are not).

[Björn Bergenholtz]

One more (last) post, simply to save/spare Laurent the extra amount of work (he's done more than enough, far more than anyone could have expected), this time regarding ...

zugmayeri as in:
• the Northwestern ssp. Zugmayer's House Crow Corvus splendens zugmayeri LAUBMANN 1913 (OD here, in text): "In der Von Dr. Erich Zugmayer aus Baluchistan mitgebrachten ornithologische Ausbeute, ..., befindinen sich unter anderem auch vier Raben, die ..."
• and the invalid* ssp. "Halcyon smyrnensis zugmayeri" LAUBMANN 1926 (OD here, on p.43): "Ich benenne die Form zu Ehren des Sammlers, Prof. Dr. Erich Zugmayer, München, der seinerzeit eine schöne Serie dieses Eisvogels aus Baluchistan mitbrachte. 1)"

Laubmann's footnote (in the latter OD) takes us to his own Paper, from 1914, here, and Hartert's ditto, from 1912, here.

That's all. Enough is enough. At least for now, in this particular thread/topic.

Bianchi cited the name in 1906-7.
ser.5:t.25 (1906) - Izviestiia Imperatorskoi akademii nauk - Biodiversity Heritage Library .
Later Hartert listed the name and added (sic!) and said:
Name fur die ungarischlitorale Form unauffallig im Text. Trotz Versicherung der Ermsthaffigkeit des Verfassers beabsichtigte er doch wohl nicht einen neuen Namen zu schaffen da ihrer schon drei vorhanden waren.

(PDF) Faunistic work of an ornithological swindler, Josef Prokop Pražák (1870-1904): An assessment .

For the sake of completeness:

Commemorated in the Black-sided/Pied Robin ssp. hermani (see the Key, here), from Northern New Guinea.

hermani
Dr Ottó Herman (1835-1914) Hungarian polymath (subsp. Poecilodryas hypoleuca).

PS. Great many thanks to Laurent, for the kind (and voluntarily) support throughout this thread, who, in doing so also managed to add quite a few "New" taxa (alt. missed, or forgotten, ones), earlier not included in the Key. Well done! 🏆

Many thanks to you for providing the thread in the first place, Björn.
