[QUOTE="Björn Bergenholtz, post: 3270236, member: 113430"] [b]A possible, plausible explanation ... or not?[/b] ● the invalid Sunbird subspecies "[I]Aethopyga siparaja terglanei[/I]" (Haroun) ER-RASHID 1966 [syn. [I]Aethopyga siparaja labecula[/I] HORSFIELD 1840] Well done, Martin! From what I can tell there´s no obvious explanation of the name in the text you managed to find, but after a quick search on the internet I cannot help notice, even if this apparent eponym has a masculine genitive ending (-[I]i[/I]) … could it be: [B][I]Magdalena Terglane[/I][/B] a k a "[B][I]M. Terglane er Rashid[/I][/B]" … who died 14 February 2014, in the age of 74. Notice of her death ([URL="http://www.ivz-trauer.de/MEDIASERVER/content/LH33/obi/18479-249ddda83911446481b6c153128c25d5.pdf"][U]here[/U][/URL]). Note the first name in the List of Mourners: (her husband?) Haroun Er Rashid …[B][COLOR="Blue"]!?[/COLOR][/B] Or is this just a curious coincidence? Alt. a male relative of her?

Is it [URL="https://www.hecua.org/about/staff/haroun-er-rashid"][U]this[/U][/URL] guy who coined the name? Also see this link, [URL="http://www.uplbooks.com/author/haroun-er-rashid"][U]here[/U][/URL]. And are those names common in their respective countries? Well, that´s all I can find on this name. No other connections found, nor any links to that certain bird, him and her. I just thought it was worth mentioning Take it for what it is, a simple speculation! This far (and it´s as far as I´ll go) I´m only fumbling in the dark. Good luck finding the truth! [/QUOTE]
