    I'm curious to know the origin of hardwickii as in
        Eublepharis hardwickii
        Saara hardwickii
        Gallinago hardwickii
        Kerivoula hardwickii
        ...
        
    Looks like said  Hardwick(e) was around
    in the 1820s [1] but we have not managed
    to find out anything more about him/her.

    Any information would be much appreciated by
    the family genealogist.
            
    Richard Hardwick

    Then AnimalBase search page
