Authority Authorities attributable to the names of several of the olderspecies in the genus are somewhat problematic. The confusion
centers on the first use of the combinations Tetragonocephalum
minutum, Tetr. simile, and Tetr. uarnak. All 3 species were
originally described as members of Tylocephalum (i.e., Tylocephalum
minutum Southwell, 1925, Tylocephalum simile Pintner,
1928, and Tylocephalum uarnak Shipley and Hornell, 1906) during
a period when Tetragonocephalum was considered to be a junior
synonym of Tylocephalum (see Shipley and Hornell, 1906;
Southwell, 1925). Subsequently, Poche (1926) and Pintner
(1928) made only conditional statements about the need to
resurrect Tetragonocephalum as a valid genus but only after
specific features could be confirmed in relevant taxa. As such,
Pintner (1928) established Tylo. simile, but contrary to Ivanov
and Campbell (2000), was not responsible for the combination
Tetr. simile. Similarly, contrary to Jensen (2005) and Jensen et al.
(2017), he did not create the combination Tetr. uarnak (see
Jensen, 2005; Jensen et al., 2017). To our knowledge, Perrenoud
(1931, p. 551) was the first to use the combinations Tetr. minutum,
Tetr. simile, and Tetr. uarnak, and we have indicated these revised
authorities in Table I. [details]
