Axel Johann Einar Lönnberg (24 December 1865 – 21 November 1942) was a Swedish zoologist and conservationist. Lönnberg was born in Stockholm. He was head of the Vertebrate Department of the ''Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet'' (Swedish Natural History Museum) from 1904 to 1933. In 1891 he obtained his PhD from the University of Uppsala, spending the next twelve years as an inspector in the fisheries service. During this time-frame he made scientific trips to Florida (1892 – 1893) and the Caspian Sea (1899). In 1904 he was appointed head of the department of vertebrates at the ''Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet'' in Stockholm. In 1910 – 1911 he participated in an expedition to East Africa. From 1925 to 1942 he served as prefect of the ''Kristineberg Marina Forskningsstation'' (Kristineberg Marine Zoological Station). In regard to his zoological research, his primary focus dealt with mammals, birds and fish, but he also made significant contributions in his studies of reptiles and amphibians. He was the binomial authority of numerous taxa, and has several species named after him, such as ''Onykia loennbergii'' (Japanese hooked squid).〔(The Tree of Life Web Project ) ''Onykia loennbergii''.〕 The Belgian-British zoologist George Albert Boulenger named a small, secretive, venomous, endemic New Guinea elapid snake ''Apisthocalamus loennbergii'' in his honour, although this species is now synonymised with ''Toxicocalamus loriae'' (Loria's forest snake).〔Boulenger GA. 1908. Description of a new Elapine Snake of the Genus ''Apisthocalamus'', Blgr., from New Guinea. ''Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., Eighth Series'' 1: 248-249. (''Apisthocalamus loennbergii'', new species).〕 In his obituary in the ornithological journal, ''Ibis'', it was written: "that since the days of Linnaeus hardly anyone has known so much about so many branches of zoology as Lönnberg". In 1904 he founded the influential journal of biology, ''Fauna och Flora''. As a conservationist he worked hard for laws protecting waterfowl and reindeer. In 1922 he became an honorary member of the British Ornithologists' Union. ==Some species that Lönnberg described== Reptiles *''Tupinambis duseni'' now ''Salvator duseni'' 1910 (yellow tegu) *''Isopachys gyldenstolpei'' 1916 (Gyldenstolpe’s snake skink) * ''Mabuya irregularis'' now ''Trachylepis irregularis'' 1922 (alpine meadow skink) Co-authored with Lars Gabriel Andersson *''Aipysurus tenuis'' 1913 (Arafura seasnake) *''Atractaspis engdahli'' 1913 (Engdahl’s burrowing asp) *''Lygosoma graciloides'' now ''Eroticoscincus graciloides'' 1913 (elf skink) * ''Oedurella taeniata'' now ''Strophurus taeniatus'' 1913 (phasmid striped gecko) *''Lygosoma brachyosoma'' now ''Concinnia brachyosoma'' 1915 (northern bar-sided skink) *''Lygosoma tympanum'' now ''Eulamprus tympanum'' 1915 (highland water Skink) *''Lygosoma mjobergi'' now ''Glaphyromorphus mjobergi'' 1915 (Atherton Tableland skink) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Einar Lönnberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
