Gustav Wilhelm Müller

Christian Gustav Wilhelm Müller (17 February 1857, Mühlberg near Erfurt 18 February 1940) [1] was a German zoologist specializing in Ostracoda.

In 1895 he succeeded Carl Eduard Adolph Gerstaecker as director of the zoological museum at Greifswald, a position he maintained until 1923.[2][3]

He was the taxonomic authority of numerous taxa in Ostracoda; a few examples being the subfamily Conchoeciinae [4] and the genera Archiconchoecia, Cytherois and Stenocypria.[5][6][7] In 1965, the genus Muellerina Bassiouni (family Hemicytheridae) was named in his honor.[8]

Written works

He was author of the section on ostrapods in the series Das Tierreich (Das Tierreich/ 31 : Crustacea, Ostracoda / bearb. von G. W. Müller, 1912).[10]
