Cistothorus apolinari Chapman, 1914 OD here

To this end the cooperation of Hermano Apolinar Maria, Director of the Instituto de la Salle of Bogota, was enlisted and thanks to him three adult birds in fresh (postnuptial?) plumage were taken in the Suba Marshes February 7, 1914, and forwarded to the American Museum. It therefore gives me much pleasure to dedicate this interesting species to Brother Apolinar not only as a mark of our appreciation of his assistance on this and on other occasions, but also in recognition of the important service he is rendering science as Director of the Instituto de la Salle of Bogota.

The Key to Scientific Names

Br. Apolinar María (born Nicolás Seiler) (1867-1949) French missionary to Colombia 1904-1949, Rector of the La Salle Institute, zoologist (Cistothorus).

According here...

El Hermano Apolinar María (Nicolás Seiler), nacido el 5 de noviembre de 1867 en Sarreguemines (Alsacia) llegó a Colombia en el año de 1904.

Y amaneció el día 24 de diciembre de 1949; en esa fecha, se escapó a los cielos el alma generosa y pura del Hermano Apolinar. Hubo concierto general entre los Serafines y un estremecimiento sú bito de peculiar alegría invadió a la Creación cuyos arcanos había es cudriñado el sabio religioso. En el cielo podía completar su obra que vio deshacerse en la tierra.

So I would have expected him Cote 9NUM/8E634/1 here p. 444 of 685 But there is only a Steiner , Eugenie b. 3 Nov. 1867. So I ask myself if he really was born in 1867?

In here a picture of him.

In my MS I have this guy as: "Hermano (Brother) Apolinar María (1877–1949)" ...

Simply based on Jobling's (Helm) Dictionary of Scientific Bird Names (2010):



Hrrmm ...

In here a picture of him.

⚠️ Not to be confused with; Hermano Nicéforo María (commemorated in quite a few nicefori/niceforoi Birds)
