Publication date Following the arguments given by Holthuis & Vervoort (2006), the actual date of publication of Giesbrecht´s monograph is different (1893) from the date specified in the work (1892). According to Article 22A.2.3. of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, it is recommended to cite both dates with the actual date cited first, followed by the imprint date for information and enclosed in parentheses or other brackets and quotation marks.
