The actual author of "Coleoptera insularum Canariensium"

While unfortunately I cannot confirm this because I have no means of even previewing the original work from the internet as far as I know, I have a suspicion the actual author of "Coleoptera insularum Canariensium" is the entomologist Håkan Lindberg, and that Google Books has confused Håkan for Harald due to their last names and first name initials being identical. The fact that they lived around the same time probably doesn't help either. Monster Iestyn (talk) 20:38, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I could be wrong, googling around I do sometimes find references to Harold also being an entomologist, possibly even working with Håkan sometimes. But nothing concrete, so it's still worth looking into. Monster Iestyn (talk) 20:54, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to retract my disputed template on second thoughts. I found enough evidence to suggest Harold was an entomologist as well as botanist. (e.g. here) Awkwardly, among other things, I just learned that Håkan Lindberg is actually Harald Lindberg's son in any case (see the Swedish Wikipedia article, or the mention of Harald Lindberg and his sons in this ZooKeys article).
