Louise Schilthuis
Louise Schilthuis (16 December 1863, Groningen – 27 January 1951, The Hague),[1] also known as Lubbina Schilthuis, was a Dutch zoologist and a curator at the Zoology Museum at the University of Utrecht[2]. She was active in the late 19th century and published at least two papers, both describing new species,[3] on the specimens collected in the Congo by M.A. Greshof, a Dutch collector and trader,[4] on the amphibians in 1889 and on the fishes on 1891. Boulenger named the mormyrid Marcusenius schilthuisiae after her.[5]
