Wiki143:WikiProject Spiders/List of Arachnologists

This is an incomplete list of people that appear as first describers in the World Spider Catalog. You can use these to wikify the names in the taxon pages. Please expand the list if you find more.

You might also check these two lists, and synchronize them:

• List of authors of names published under the ICZN
• German list of zoologists
• French list of zoologists
• List of Taxon Authorities on Wikispecies

The list is in alphabetic order by surname. The World Spider Catalog often omits diacritics so that, e.g., "Wesołowska" may appear as "Wesolowska".
