Abstract
Here we provide information about the life of Johannes Albertus Schlosser (1733-1769). Schlosser was a Dutch medical doctor and naturalist. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society in London and provided the first description of Artemia salina(L.) in 1755. The drawings showing male and female animals of this species published in 1756 together with an excerpt of Schlosser’s original description were drawn by Matthew Maty (1718-1776). Schlosser’s name is today still linked to three other taxa: he described in 1768 the Amboina sail-finned lizard. Both a sea squirt species and the Giant mudskipper carry the name “ schlosseri” in honour of him and his work.
