Alfred Laubmann

Alfred Louis Laubmann (20 October 1886 - 18 October 1965) was a German zoologist and ornithologist who worked as curator at the Bavarian State Collection of Zoology in Munich.

He then moved in 1906 to Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich to study zoology.

In 1911 he joined the Zoological Museum in Munich to work on the skins collected by Gottfried Merzbacher (1834-1926) from the Tian Shan region.

Hellmayr moved to the United States in 1922 which led to Laubmann being promoted to head.

[2] Laubmann described many taxa including the species Alcedo hercules and Otocichla mupinensis.
