Taxa named after Froggatt

[edit]

According to [1]:

But the name Froggatt lives on, and is very familiar to most Victorian and Australian naturalists as more than 18 species of plants and animals have been named after him.

The insects include:

But perhaps the two best known insect species are the Moreton Bay Fig Wasp (Pleistodontes froggatti) and the Eucalyptus Leaf-blister Sawfly (Phylacteophaga froggatti), both species very familiar to Victorian insect enthusiasts.

His name also appears regularly, sometimes bracketed, after genera such as Pseudopsylla and Glyptotermes. And Froggatt’s Bendigo childhood is commemorated by the Kamarooka Mallee (Eucalyptus froggatti).
