[QUOTE="Björn Bergenholtz, post: 3617851, member: 113430"] Here´s some additional info (and a death year) on the guy commemorated in the eponym ... [B][I]monguilloti[/I][/B] as in: • Vietnam Greenfinch ([I]Carduelis[/I]) [I]Chloris[/I] ([I]spinoides[/I]) [I]monguilloti[/I] DELACOUR (& LEGENDRE) 1926 ([URL="http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/125300#page/54/mode/1up"][U]here[/U][/URL]) as "[I]Hypacanthis monguilloti[/I]": ... which ought to be [I]Monsieur[/I] [B]Maurice Monguillot[/B] ([URL="https://books.google.se/books?hl=sv&id=ODduAAAAMAAJ&dq=%22Maurice+Monguillot%22&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=%22Monguillot%22"][U]here[/U][/URL]), who most likely is equal of the French Colonial administrator[B] Maurice Antoine François Monguillot[/B] ([B]1874[/B]–[B][U]1945[/U][/B]), former artillery officer, "[I]inspecteur des colonies[/I]" ... later [I]secrétaire général[/I] and repeatedly (three times!) interim/acting Governor-General of French Indochina from 1919 until 1928 [1st time: May 1919 to December 1919[COLOR="Red"]*[/COLOR], 2nd time: April 1925 to November 1925, 3rd time: January 1928 to August 1928, [URL="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_des_gouverneurs_de_l%27Indochine_française"][U]here[/U][/URL] alt. [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Governors-General_of_French_Indochina"][U]here[/U][/URL]], "[I]Résident supérieur à Hanoï[/I]", "[I]gouverneur général honoraire des Colonies[/I]", [I]Commandeur de Légion d'Honneur[/I] ... etc., etc.. Born 9 August 1874, in Paris ... died 23 June 1945. More info on him, and his career, see [I]Leonore[/I] ([I]Archives nationales France[/I]), [URL="http://www.culture.gouv.fr/public/mistral/leonore_fr?ACTION=CHERCHER&FIELD_2=PRENOMS&VALUE_2=%27Maurice%20Antoine%20Fran%E7ois%27&DOM=All"][U]here[/U][/URL]. Enjoy! Björn ______________________ [COLOR="red"]*[/COLOR]Note that first Tenure differ PS. Also note that today's [I]HBW Alive Key[/I] spell his surname Mo[U][COLOR="Blue"]nt[/COLOR][/U]...: Both versions of the Surname is to be found in various sources, but to me it looks like the Mo[U]ng[/U]uillot version is the most frequent one used. On my behalf it´s of minor importance ... in my MS he´s only present in the margins, possibly he´ll be left out all together, in the end. But I thought I ought to point it out, as I noticed the different spellings. Either way I think T[I]he Eponym Dictionary of Birds[/I] (2014) is erroneus (once again), but this time only regarding his death year ([URL="https://books.google.de/books?id=En4wBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT1007#v=snippet&q=Monguillot&f=false"][U]here[/U][/URL]). It must be pretty hard to work as Governor-General of French Indochina in 1928 if you´d died in 1926!? ;) How were they thinking!? [/QUOTE]
