Stanko Karaman

Stanko Luka Karaman (8 December 1889 – 17 May 1959) was a Yugoslav biologist of Bosnian Serb ancestry, researcher on amphipod and isopod crustaceans.

In 1926 he founded the Museum of South Serbia (later - Macedonian Museum of Natural History) in Skopje and in 1928, the Zoological Garden of Skopje.

Several species are named after him, for example Delamarella karamani <small>Petkovski, 1957</small> (Harpacticoida), Stygophalangium karamani <small>Oudemans, 1933</small> (Arachnida), or Macedonethes stankoi <small>I. Karaman, 2003</small> (Isopoda).

Other taxa named karamani are labeled after his son Gordan S. Karaman, also a carcinologist.
