Eponymy: Achille Valenciennes (1794–1865) was a French zoologist; primarily an ichthyologist and conchologist. [...] Swinburne Ward (1830–1897) was a British diplomat, Her Majesty’s Civil Commissioner in the Seychelles (1862–1868). He was also an amateur naturalist, and the extinct Seychelles Parakeet (Psittacula wardi) is also named after him. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
