Jacques Pellegrin |
b. 1873, d. 1944
When George Boulenger decided to devote his scientific life to roses
rather than to fish, the French ichthyologist, Jacques Pellegrin, who
worked at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris was invited
to study the Tervuren collections. Pellegrin had already published a large
volume on cichlids (Pellegrin, 1904) but until then his work on the
Tanganyika fishes was rather limited. Pellegrin described a cave fish from
Somalia as Eilichthys microphthalmus (Pellegrin 1929). In reality it was a
synonym for Barbopsis devecchii Di Caporiacco, 1926. |
