Gustav Hartlaub.

Karel Johan Gustav Hartlaub (November 8, 1814 - November 29, 1900) was a German physician and zoologist.

Hartlaub was born in Bremen, and studied at Bonn and Berlin before graduating in medicine at Göttingen. In 1840 he began to collect and study exotic birds, which he donated to the Bremen Natural History Museum. He described some of these species for the first time. In 1852 he set up a new journal with Jean Cabanis, the Journal für Ornithologie.

A number of birds were named for him, including Hartlaub's Bustard, Hartlaub's Duck and Hartlaub's Gull.
