auct. non.
[auctorum non (of authors [but] not....), used for
misapplied names, of a taxon which is other than that as published
by]
In
taxonomy the author of the
scientific name of a
taxon is the person or team who
first causes, creates and makes the name available by using it in a
scientific publication with a description of the taxon to which it
applies.
Theauthorship: is the author of a
taxonomic name, the person who alone is responsible for both the
name and for the conditions which make it available i.e. the
diagnosis etc.
AUTHOR CITATION
The name of the
authority
for a taxon name, when cited, should follow the taxon name without any
intervening marks or punctuation. Its citation is optional and may or
may not be followed immediately by the year. Examples:-
A.... Smith 1970
Smith was the first person to validly publish the name A...., which he
did in 1970.
A.... Smith in Jones
1970
Smith was the first person to validly publish the name A...., which he
did within a publication by Jones in 1970.
A.... Smith 1970 ex
Jones 1942
Smith was the first person to validly publish the name A.... in 1970,
but which had formerly been used by Jones in 1942, but which he had
never validly published.
A.... b.... (Smith)
1970 or A.... b.... (Smith 1970)
Smith was the first person to validly publish the species name b.... in
1970, but which at the time he put in combination with another
genus name.
A.... c.... (Smith)
Jones
Smith was the first person to validly publish the species name c....,
but which at that time he put in combination with another genus
name. Jones is responsible for the transfer of the species to genus
A.....
A.... b.... [Smith]
The name was originally published anonymously but from external
information the author is known to be Smith.
A.... Smith [1970]
Date of publication established solely from external evidence e.g.
publisher's correspondence.
A.... Smith 1970 non
Jones 1860 nec Brown 1967
The genus referred to is specifically that described by Smith 1970 and
not those homonymous genera described by Jones 1860 or Brown 1967.
A.... b.... Smith 1970
sensu Jones 1977
A.... b.... Smith : Jones
A.... b.... : Jones
These all mean that A.... b.... was originally published by Smith, but
that this refers specifically to a subsequent, more restricted usage of
the name i.e. as used by Jones (: may sometimes be given as ;).
A.... b.... auct. non Smith 1970
A.... b.... sensu auct.
non Smith 1970
These refer to instances of the use of A.... b.... by all authors for a
taxon which is other than that as published by Smith 1970.
A.... b.... Smith,
partim Jones
A.... b.... Smith,
emend. Jones
These both mean Smith originally published A.... b...., but later Jones
further subdivided the species so that its diagnosis was more limited
than that originally published by Smith. Emended diagnosis.
In botany
The International Code of Botanical
Nomenclature does not
use level groups. Names at every level can have distinct authorship.
This extends up to class (or even to division), and down to variety,
form and subform.
