Donald George Broadley (1932–2016) was an African herpetologist. He described as new to science 115 species and subspecies, and 8 genera and subgenera of reptiles. [1] He was one of the founders of the Herpetological Association of Africa (initially the Herpetological Association of Rhodesia). [2] He earned his doctorate at the University of Natal in 1966. [3] His widow, Sheila Broadley, is also a herpetologist. [3]

Legacy

Broadley is commemorated in the scientific names of eight species of reptiles: Afroedura broadleyi, [4] Atheris broadleyi, [3] Elapsoidea broadleyi, [3] Lygodactylus broadleyi, [3] Pelusios broadleyi, [3] Platysaurus broadleyi, [3] Scolecoseps broadleyi, [5] and Tricheilostoma broadleyi. [3]
