Walter Faxon

Walter Faxon (February 4, 1848 – August 10, 1920) was an American ornithologist and carcinologist. He was born at Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, where he grew up. He received three degrees from Harvard University. One of his greater ornithological achievements was demonstration that Brewster's warbler is a hybrid.

He spent many years researching and classifying many American crayfish, including the genera ''Astacus'', ''Orconectes'', and ''Procambarus'', and contributed to at least 20 different scientific papers. Following a 2017 review, carried out by Oxford University, the former ''Faxonius'' subgenus of ''Orconectes'' was raised to a full genus as the subgenera were not monophyletic. The genus ''Faxonella'' is similarly named to honour Faxon. Provided by Wikipedia
