Eugênio Izecksohn (1932 – June 2013) was a Brazilian herpetologist.
[1] Izecksohn graduated from Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro in 1953.
[1] Among others, he discovered and scientifically described the flea frog Brachycephalus didactylus,[2] one of the smallest frogs in the world.
[1][3] Several taxa have been named in honour of him, mostly frogs like the tiny B. izecksohni,[4] and the extremely rare—if not already extinct—Bokermannohyla izecksohni, but also a few from other groups like the fish Xenurolebias izecksohni and the bat Myotis izecksohni.
