Black-headed Sibia Heterophasia desgodinsi Oustalet, 1877
Abbé Auguste Desgodins (1826–1913) was a French missionary in Tibet (1855–1870). He created a dictionary, Dictionnaire Thibétain-Latin-Français (1899), as well as writing up the mission with his brother Charles H. Desgodins in La Mission du Thibet de 1855 à 1870 (1872). Other taxa, particularly insects, are named after him.

The Key to Scientific Names

Abbé Auguste Desgodins (1826-1913) French missionary to Tibet (Heterophasia, syn. Tetraophasis szechenyii).

Birth record here p. 104/355 (indeed only one name Auguste).

This is what Wikipedia claims here.

I ask myself:
1) Why is the potential brother Charles H. Desgodins (if exists) excluded as potential honoree?
2) From second description shouldn't be brother David be considered as co-author of Heterophasia desgodinsi? Or is this not allowed by the code if it was not mentioned in OD?

The brother was Charles Hyacinthe Desgodins (1814-1894) here. Maybe the answer to 1) is that he wasn't an abbé?

 

[l_raty]

As I understand it, Charles Hyacinthe was a forest inspector in France. In the early 1870s (while he was already retired), he wrote up La Mission du Thibet de 1855 à 1870, based on letters and notes from his brother. He did not take part in the mission.

The naming and the writing of the Latin diagnosis of Sibia desgodinsi are both explicitly attributed to "M. David et [...] moi" in the OD, hence it would make sense to attribute the name to David & Oustalet, indeed.
