Henriette Mathilde Maria Elisabeth Emilie Snethlage (born April 13, 1868 in Kraatz , Brandenburg province , † November 25, 1929 in Porto Velho , Brazil ) was a German-Brazilian ornithologist .

Live and act

Maria Emilie Snethlage was born as the daughter of pastor Emil Snethlage in Kraatz near Gransee . She was educated privately in her father's house. In 1900 she began studying natural history at the University of Freiburg, and in 1904 she wrote her doctoral thesis on the question of muscle attachment and the muscles in arthropods . On the recommendation of Anton Reichenow , she moved to Brazil in 1905 and became Emil Goeldi's assistant . From 1914 to 1922 she was the director of the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi . During this time, she lost a member of the middle finger of her right hand. She amputated it herself after a piranha bit its finger. Maria Emilie Snethlage is one of the most outstanding ornithologists in Brazil. Between 1905 and 1929 she described several bird species scientifically for the first time. These include the Goeldiameisenvogel (Myrmeciza goeldii), the Iheringameisenschlüpfer ( Myrmotherula iheringi ), the yellow stripe Antwren ( Myrmotherula sclateri ) and the Gelbbürzel-Laubtyrann ( Phyloscartes roquettei ). Together with her nephew, the ethnologist Dr. Emil Heinrich Snethlage , she researched the Brazilian bird world in the 1920s. In 1929 she died of a heart defect.

Dedication names

Leo Joseph and John Marshall Bates dedicated the Rio Madeira Parakeet ( Pyrrhura snethlageae ) to her in 2002 . John Todd Zimmer honored them in 1934 in the red-backed scythe- beak subspecies ( Campylorhamphus trochilirostris snethlageae ), and Hans Hermann Carl Ludwig von Berlepsch in 1912 in the rust- breasted mosquito-eater subspecies ( Conopophaga aurita snethlageae ). Her nephew named a small death tyran subspecies ( Hemitriccus minor snethlageae ) in her honor in 1937 . Teresa CS Ávila-Pires honored her in 1995 in the gymnophthalmidae -Art Loxopholis snethlageae , Osvaldo Rodrigues da Cunha and Francisco Paiva do Nascimento 1983, the snakes -Art Atractus snethlageae , Lorenz Müller 1914, the tongue lots -Art snethlageae Pipa .

In addition, the mammal species Emilia pouch rat ( Gracilinanus emiliae ( Thomas , 1909)), Emilia shrew pouch rat ( Monodelphis emiliae ( Thomas , 1912)), brown marmoset ( Mico emiliae ( Thomas , 1920)), tuft- tailed spiny rat ( Lonchothrix emiliae Thomas , 1920) and the climbing mouse species ( Rhipidomys emiliae ( Allen , 1916)).

The genus Snethlagea von Berlepsch , 1909 is now considered a synonym for Hemitriccus Cabanis & Heine , 1859.
