Here´s some possibly additional info, maybe worth considering, on ...
moszkowskii as in:
• the subspecies Moszkowski's Green-winged King Parrot Alisterus chloropterus moszkowskii REICHENOW 1911 (here) as "Aprosmictus moszkowskii": ... gesammelt von Dr. M oskowski [sic].
• the invalid "Edoliisoma schisticeps moszkowskii" NEUMANN 1917 (here): "Dr. Moszkowski coll."
... which most likely commemorates Dr. Max Moszkowski (1873-1939*), from Wrocław (Breslau in German), Polish alt. Prussian or German traveler, explorer, ethnologist, anthropologist, zoologist and collector (of just about everything) ...
*Disclaimer: His death year is based only (no details found) on the following links; here, here and here (bottom p.8-10). Also see here ... and all over the internet.
He´s present in today's HBW Alive Key as:
More about this guy is found in The Eponym Dictionary of Birds 2014 (here), by Beolens et al ... this said, even if I find his alleged death above (in 1939) a bit far away to fit into their claim of "c.1950".
He´s also (for example) commemorated in the Fish Moszkowski's labeo (a Carp) Labeo moszkowskii AHL 1922 (here) and in the invalid frog "Cornufer moszkowskii" VOGT 1912 (here).
However: Enjoy!
