Five New Extinct Species of Rails (Aves: Gruiformes: Rallidae) from the Macaronesian Islands (North Atlantic Ocean)
Zootaxa 4057(2): 151-190 )
Etymology. The specific name honours Richard Thomas Lowe, who during his time in Madeira was an assiduous student of the flora and fauna (mainly fishes and molluscs) of the archipelago and who published many important books and articles (da Silva and de Meneses 1984). He was born 4 Dec 1802 in Findern, Derbyshire (England). After finishing school and theological studies, he visited Madeira for the first in 1828 and became an Anglican chaplain on the island in 1832. Later on, he returned to England and lived in Lea, Lincolnshire. He returned to Madeira several times, the last one in April 1874 from Liverpool, but he was shipwrecked soon after setting out and drowned, together with his wife, southwest of the Scilly Islands. In one of his publications (Lowe 1853) he mentioned for the first time the discovery of (sub)fossil lizard and bird bones. Richard Owen, who studied the material, could not identify the bones of the three species found, but could only give their size as similar to that of "gull or crow,” " thrush" and "sparrow".

Five New Extinct Species of Rails (Aves: Gruiformes: Rallidae) from the Macaronesian Islands (North Atlantic Ocean)
Zootaxa 4057(2): 151-190 )
Etymology. Dedicated to Adolfo César de Noronha for his contributions to the biology and paleontology of Madeira (Clode 1984, da Silva and de Meneses 1984). He was born 9 Sept 1873 in Funchal /Madeira and died there 6 Apr 1963. After his education in Madeira and on the Portuguese mainland he was librarian at the Biblioteca Municipal do Funchal and after 1928 its director. Later he also became the first director of the Museu de Historia Natural (as it is now termed) which was established in 1929. During his long life he published together with A.A. Sarmento "Vertebrados da Madeira" in 1948, and numerous other papers, mainly on the marine fishes of the Madeiran Archipelago, but also on crustaceans and birds. He also collected plants and fossils, including fossil bird bones in São Lourenço in the early years of last century, and these are still conserved in the MHNF.

Etymology: The new fossil owl species is named after Dr. honoris causa (1995) Günther Edmund Maul (7 May 1909 Frankfurt/M.– 28 Sept 1997 Funchal), who came to Madeira in October 1930. He worked first as a taxidermist in the Museu Municipal do Funchal (História Natural) and was later (1940–1981) its director. He was the leading expert on the Madeiran fauna in general, and especially on marine fishes. The majority of his publications (beginning in 1945) were listed by Wilhelm (2009). Wilhelm (2002 a, b) and Biscoito (1997) have provided obituaries.
