Ferdinand Deppe

He left Berlin in August 1824 and after changes of ships at London and Jamaica, reached Alvarado, Veracruz in December.

From 1830 Schiede practiced medicine in Mexico City while Deppe began to try various other businesses to make living.

[1] Some of his American flies were described by Christian Rudolph Wilhelm Wiedemann in Aussereuropäische Zweiflügelige Insekten published in Hamm (1828–1830).

In the field of herpetology, he is commemorated in the specific epithets of Abronia deppii (Deppe's arboreal alligator lizard), Aspidoscelis deppii (blackbelly racerunner), Pituophis deppei (Mexican pine snake), and Tantilla deppei (Deppe's centipede snake).

The items had been collected by Ferdinand Deppe in Mexico and the binomial names would have been supplied by Hinrich Lichtenstein who was the director of the Zoological Museum.
