Fritz Nieden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fritz Nieden (1883–1942) was a German zoologist who specialized in African herpetology.[1]
He worked as a zoologist at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin. His name is associated with Nieden's dwarf skink, Panaspis megalurus.[2] In 1911 he was the first to describe Callulina kreffti, a species of frog, which until 2004 was the only known species of the genus Callulina.[3][4]
The Sagala caecilian, Boulengerula niedeni, is named after him.[1][5]
