Fredericus Anna Jentink (20 August 1844,
was a Dutch zoologist.Biography
In 1875, he became curator at the
Philip Lutley Sclater, Raphaël Blanchard, Julius Victor Carus, and Charles Wardell Stiles.[3] Jentink's main research field was the taxonomy of mammals, where he described several marsupial, bat, and rodent taxa.[4] In 1886, he described the guenon species Cercopithecus signatus (sometimes known as Jentink's guenon) on the basis of one deceased specimen which was obtained by the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie from the Diergaarde Blijdorp in Rotterdam in 1877.[5] The original provenance of this species is still unknown[4] but alternatively it might be possible that it is a hybrid between the greater spot-nosed monkey and the moustached guenon.[6] Jentink published the Catalogue ostéologique des mammifères (1887), the Catalogue systématique des mammifères (1892) and Mammals Collected by the Members of the Humboldt Bay and the Merauke River Expeditions:Nova Guinea (1907).[4] Oldfield Thomas named the Jentink's duiker (1892) and the Jentink's squirrel (1887) in honor of Fredericus Anna Jentink.[4]
