Claude Marie Jules Bourcier (Script error: No such module "IPA".; 19 February 1797 – 9 March 1873) was a French naturalist and expert on hummingbirds.[1][2]
Bourcier was born in Cuisery, Saône-et-Loire.[3] He was the mayor of Millery, Rhône from 1832 to 1837, and he was the French consul to Ecuador from 1849 to 1850. In 1857, he became a corresponding member of the Société linnéenne de Lyon.[1]
Bourcier named a number of new hummingbird species, either alone or with other ornithologists, such as Adolphe Delattre and Martial Etienne Mulsant.
The following hummingbird species bear his name:
- Colibri de Bourcier (Polyonymus caroli), described by Bourcier in 1847;
- Phaethornis bourcieri, described by René Primevère Lesson in 1832.[1]
A species of South American snake, Saphenophis boursieri, was named in his honor by Giorgio Jan in 1867.[4] The terrestrial mollusk genus Bourciera was named after him, based on specimens he collected for Louis Pfeiffer.
He died in Batignolles, Paris, in 1873.[3]
