From editor or global species database
Authority Attributed to Valenciennes by L. Agassiz & Desor (1846: p. 337), who never appears to have actually published the name. Thus Agassiz & Desor's use of the name is the first to make the name validly available. Agassiz & Desor are, therefore, the correct authors according to the Code. [details]
