Sherman Chauncey Bishop (1887–1951) was a
arachnologist from New York. He studied at Cornell University and, with Cyrus R. Crosby, gave the spruce-fir moss spider its scientific name.[1] His Handbook of Salamanders (1943) was the first serious and comprehensive treatment of North American salamanders since Cope
(1889).
Bishop is commemorated in the
Ambystoma bishopi and Cryptobranchus bishopi.[2]
