I think this might be an easy one for our swedish guys here.
In HWB Alive it is written:
A. A. Johnson (fl. 1922) Swedish Consul-Gen. in Thailand 1911-1912 and Ecuador 1922 (syn. Pseudocolaptes boissonneautii orientalis, subsp. Pseudocolaptes lawrencii, subsp. Rubigula melanictera).
I agree about the dedication as in the original description it is written:
We have taken the pleasure of naming it for Consul General Axel Ax:son Johnson, who at many opportunities kindly has promoted the interests of the museum. OD
I am generally wondering how his second name was written as ''Ax:son'' . What is the reason for the colon? Son of Ax?
at Wikipedia as well as ''Ax:son''.
