Johann G. Hermann Schubotz (1881–1955) was a German naturalist who was an Assistant in Zoology at the Humboldt University, Berlin, and participated in the two expeditions that Duke Adolf Friedrich zu Mecklenburg (q.v. under Adolf) undertook to Equatorial Africa (1907–1908 and 1910–1911). He was appointed Professor of Zoology (1916), then Cultural Attaché at the German Embassy, Stockholm (1919–1926). He emigrated from Germany to South West Africa (Namibia) (1935) where he bred sheep. He returned to Germany (1952) and worked at the Broadcoasting Corporation ('Rundfunk'). A reptile and two amphibians are named after him.

The Key to Scientific Names

Prof. Dr Johann Georg Hermann Schubotz (1881-1955) German zoologist, collector in tropical Africa 1907-1911 (syn. Arizelocichla tephrolaema kikuyuensis, syn. Chloropeta similis, subsp. Cinnyris stuhlmanni, subsp. Guttera plumifera, subsp. Peliperdix lathami, syn. Ploceus alienus, syn. Pogoniulus chrysoconus, syn. Tachymarptis aequatorialis, subsp. Terpsiphone rufiventer, syn. Zosterops senegalensis stuhlmanni).

I agree to James as we can find in here Georg which is missing in The Eponym Dictionary of Birds, The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles & The Eponym Dictionary of Amphibians.

Chamaeleo schubotzi Sternfeld, 1912 OD here
Arthroleptis schubotzi Nieden, 1911 OD here
Rana schubotzi Sternfeld, 1917 here

But there seems more animals with his name like Aleochara (Baryodma) Schubotzi, Oxytelus Schubotzi, Gordiodrilus Schubotzi etc pp.

But Reichenow seems really a friend of him (ten birds named for him). So nothing sensational new I just opend the thread as the G: was missing in the Eponyms.

 

[PScofield]

This one seems to be in error.

Thinks it's his father who was Johann Georg Hermann Schubotz

Am I correct (attached)?

Johann Gustav Hermann Schubotz

Birth Date	25 May 1881
Marriage Date	14 Mar 1913

What Happened	??? 7 Apr 1941
Spouse	Elisabeth Annie Charlotte Karl

There is a Johann Gustav Hermann Schubotz supposedly dying in West Africa on 7 Nov 1955 (attached) so I assume this is the wife's death in 1941?

I think however he didn't die in Africa but in Europe - one German website says Berlin another says Lugano.

[...] so I assume this is the wife's death in 1941?

They divorced in 1941. ("Durch das am 27. März 1941 rechtkräftig gewordene Urteil des Land-Gerichts Berlin ist die Ehe zwischen dem Johann Gustav Hermann Schubotz und der Elsbeth Annie Charlotte Schubotz geborenen Karl geschieden worden". Note she's called Elsbeth in this document, not Elisabeth -- both in the marriage record itself and in the addition noting the divorce.)

It might be worth to update The Key to Scientific Names - Birds of the World to Johann Gustav Hermann Schubotz. (not Georg)
