| AUCTT. (AUCT.) (= AUCTORUM) |
"Of authors;" when several authors erroneously identify and publish a name that does not apply to the original description, it is referred to (for example) as Conus crocatus of authors, OR: Conus crocatus Auctt. It means this cone is not true Conus crocatus Lamarck, 1810, but rather what authors have thought was crocatus; see also: TESTE. | |
