Johann Christian Mikan

Johann Christian Mikan (1769–1844)

Johann Christian Mikan (born 5 December 1769 in Teplitz, died 28 December 1844 in Prague) was an Austrian-Czech botanist, zoologist and entomologist. He was the son of Joseph Gottfried Mikan.[1]

Career

Mikan was a professor of natural history at the University of Prague.[2] He was one of three leading naturalists on the Austrian Brazil Expedition.[3]

He wrote Monographia Bombyliorum Bohemiæ, iconibus illustrata in 1796, Entomologische Beobachtungen, Berichtigungen und Entdeckungen in 1797, and Delectus Florae et Faunae Brasiliensis, etc. in 1820.[4] Mikan described many new species, including the black lion tamarin.

Mikan is commemorated in the scientific name of a species of South American snake, Dipsas mikanii.[5]

The genus Mikania Willd. (Asteraceae) was named for his father Joseph Gottfried Mikan (1743–1814), professor of botany and chemistry at the Prague University.

The standard author abbreviation J.C.Mikan is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[6]
