Editorial reviewA sound reference starting point where classification, measurement and the date of the underlying evidence remain visible. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1876—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1876. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Société, zoologique and France providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
