Heliothryx barroti (Bourcier, 1843) OD 1843 - Revue zoologique - Biodiversity Heritage Library

I agree to:
Some more on him in Wikipedia.
Birth record here p. 19/101 (reconstructed)
Death record (Cote V4E 951) here p. 11/31 (8. Arrondisement)
So it might be worth to update the key with barrotii
Apart from that nothing additional to claim from my side. But feel free to add any new informattion.
P. S. Léonore seems to have him only as Adolphe Barrot and born 1803.
Phænicophaus barrotii Eydoux et Souleyet, 1841 OD t.1:ptie.1 (1841) - Zoologie - Biodiversity Heritage Library plate (1841-1852) [Atlas] - Zoologie - Biodiversity Heritage Librarydédiée à M. Barrot, ancien consul généralà Carthagène, qui le premier l'a envoyée en Europe.
About the publishing date:Nous la devons à M. Adolphe Barrot, consul général à Manille, à qui nous l'avons dédiée.
I would date the entire bird text to 18 Dec 1841.

Theodore Adolphe Barrot (1801–1870) was a French diplomat who served in Colombia (1831–1835) and the Philippines (1835–1838). He became a senator (1864) under Napoleon III in the Second Empire. He wrote Unless Unless Haste is Made: A French Sceptic's Account of the Sandwich Islands (1836). He had the distinction that, although not of noble blood, he became a Knight of the Royal Illustrious Order of St Januarius, which was founded in in Naples in the 16th century by the Habsburg King of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
