[The authorship of this review is not stated expressly anywhere, as far as I could find, but the context makes clear that the journal's editor, Lorenz Oken (1779-1851), the famous German naturalist of the Naturphilosophie movement, was the one who wrote it and the other literature reviews that appeared in the journal. For this reason, Oken should be credited with its authorship under Article 50.1 of the Code. In Cupello et al. (2022), we conservatively treated the review as published anonymously, but this seems unjustified. Kertesz (1986) tells the details of the history of Isis von Oken and confirms that Oken was the one who prepared the literature reviews] [publication date for nomenclatural purposes: 30th November 1834. Neal Evenhuis (personal communication, 26th January 2023) confirmed that Isis von Oken appeared in monthly issues. Oken's review of Lacordaire's paper appeared in the 11th issue of 1834, therefore, in November of that year, with no more specific date known to me. Following Article 21.3.1, I take the last day of that month as the publication date]. https:// www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/27510335

Sherborn 1922; Evenhuis 1997b; Bouchard et al. 2011; Bousquet 2016). The colophon on page 224 is dated 13th December 1833 ('Idibus Decembris MDCCCXXXIII'), but this date must refer only to the printing of the last livraison, not being valid for the publication date of the first livraison where Onitis aeruginosus was given availability and which, consequently, concerns us here. The editorship of this book is also disputed. The several individuals and their cities listed by Evenhuis (1997b) as editors were, in fact, purely booksellers, not editors in the sense of those who underwrote the costs of publication, as defined by Bousquet (2016). The one cited by Bouchard et al. (2011) and Kury et al. (2020), Friedrich Fleischer, as far as I could find, is mentioned only on the 1834 title page as the bookseller in Leipzig, and is also probably incorrect as the editor. Other important works citing Perty's book have simply omitted the editor altogether (e.g., Sherborn 1922; Blackwelder 1957; Scherer 1983; Monne 2005; Bousquet 2016). In my opinion, however, there is no doubt that Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius (1794-1868) was the editor of this book. The 1834 title page, besides saying that the book was produced at the 'editor's expenses' ('IMPENSIS EDITO R IS'), bears the information 'praefatus est et edidit Carol. Frideric. Philip. de Martius' below the title, making it clear the true identity of the person who financed the production of the book, edited it, and was thus ultimately responsible for its publication.] https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/57932830
