Marion Durbin Ellis (October 25, 1887 – December 16, 1972) was an American ichthyologist and entomologist.[1] She is credited with conducting the most comprehensive study to date of the Hemigrammus genus of fish[2] of which she named nineteen taxa. The taxon Corydoras ellisae and Hyphessobrycon ellisae (a.k.a. Hyphessobrycon sergipanus) are named for her as are the species Bryconops durbinae[3] and Bryconacidnus ellisi.[4]
