[Taxacom] Australian's oldest scientist to celebrate 100th Birthday - seeking information on species named after him

[Stephen Thorpe]

"Max Day" seems somehow like an appropriate name for the guy!

Anyway, another one is:

Anagonia dayi Colless 2012 (Diptera) [See p. 197 in http://australianmuseum.net.au/uploads/journals/27016/1590_complete.pdf , 'The species is named for my colleague Max Day ...']

Cheers, Stephen

 On December 21 this year, Dr Max Day, will have his
 birthday, and turn 100 years old. This will make him
 Australia's oldest scientist.

 To celebrate Max's 100th birthday, a book is being
 compiled.
 We need your help please to identify species that are named
 after Max Day to be included in the book.
 Currently, we know of one genus and 4 species -
 Inghamia dayi Evans, 1966, a leafhopper (Family
 Cicadellidae)
 Chidaea dayi Emeljanov, 2000, a planthopper (Family
 Cixiidae)
 Daymfus Özdikmen & Demir, 2010, a horned treehopper
 (Family Membracidae)
 Ogmograptis maxdayi Horak, 2012, a scribbly moth (Family
 Bucculatricidae)
 
 Xanthoparmelia dayiana Elix & J.Johnst, a lichen
 
 Are you aware of any more?
 Please contact Max Day's son Jon at jon.day at my.jcu.edu.au<mailto:jon.day at my.jcu.edu.au>
 if you can help add to the list.
 Thank you
