Therefore, major parts of the third expedition , except those specimens he shipped before the earthquake, were destroyed. Later, on his fourth expedition (1858/1859), Wagner travelled alone to Central and northern South America and collected many insects and fishes (see Neu- mann 2006), but most probably only a small number of amphibians or reptiles. Most of these specimens were in- ventoried in the collection of the Zoologische Staatssamm- lung in Munich, because this journey was funded by the Bavarian King, Maximilian II, although later some were exchanged with the museum in Vienna or destroyed in the Second World War (nearly the entire ZSM fish collection and about half of the herpetological collection). Neumann (2006) mentioned that for the fish collected the location "Neu-Granada" was coiTccted by Wagner (1864) into "Panama" to indicate that he exclusively collected in this area, which was a province of New-Granada until 1903. Bonn zoological Bulletin 61 (2): 216-240 Moritz Wagner as biogeographer and darwinist Besides his relevance as a collector, Moritz Wagner also was a well-reputed biologist with a broad knowledge of many different groups, such as insects, fish and mammals, but also plants.
