Some doubts on Prévost (1 Viewer)

[Taphrospilus]

Small enhanhement his full name was Guillaume Florent Prevost as we find in V4E 621 Archive en ligne Paris here p. 17 of 31 (hope the link works). I would appreciate if Laurent is willing to translate the text (as I understood he died 1. February (as again hier à onze heures in the text) and this would exactly fit to the footnote here). It looks like he was married with Fanny Coucie and born in Paris. As he seems to be Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur we might find additional information (Leonore).

It might be worth to update florentis as well with Guillaume in The Key to Scientific Names. OD was already mentioned here...

Bourjot St-Hilaire [1837-38] described Psittacula florentis based on a specimen acquired from "M. Guy, naturaliste à Paris".

.. but not discussed in terms of Prevost.

OD is telling us:

...et dans cette persuasion nous lui avaons donné le nom, insignifiant comme note ornithologique, d'un de nos plus anciens amis, M. Florent Prévost, chef du laboratoire zoologique du Muséum de Paris, qui joint à beaucoup d'obligeance de connaissances trèsexactes en ornithologie et une rare persicacité pour reconnaître l'espèce nouvelle.
