Focke
Hi, I wanted to point you to Taxonomic Literature Online, in case you aren't aware of it. The home page is here. That's where the information came from that Fockea isn't named after Wilhelm Olbers Focke, but Gustav Waldemar Focke. Best wishes, Sminthopsis84 (talk) 16:49, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi. Thanks for correcting that: honest mistake. So as I'm better informed in future, would you mind enlightening me as to how you got this info from TLO, please? I found lists of publications and dates for both Fockes, but did not see any name derivations. Thanks. Ongava (talk) 09:07, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, well, I happened to spot it on page 849. More importantly though, I knew that if it were true that W.O. Focke was the person memorialized, then it was very likely that it would be listed with his name, and it wasn't. I had intended to add the citation to what you had added, but that didn't work.
