Fritz Nieden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fritz Nieden (1883 - 1942) was a German zoologist who specialized in African herpetology.

He worked as a zoologist at the "Museum für Naturkunde" in Berlin. His name is associated with "Nieden's dwarf skink", Panaspis megalurus.[1] In 1911 he was the first to describe Callulina kreffti, which until 2004 was the only known species of the genus Callulina.[2][3]

The Sagala caecilian, Boulengerula niedeni is named after him.[4]
