Lionel William Wiglesworth (February 13, 1865 – June 7, 1901) was an Australian ornithologist who studied birds of Southeast Asia and Polynesia.[1] Wiglesworth published The Birds of Celebes and the Neighboring Islands in 1898 with Adolf Bernhard Meyer.[2] Together, they described several new bird species, including the dark-eared myza (Myza celebensis)[3] and the Banggai fruit dove (Ptilinopus subgularis).[4]
