ON THE CORRECT LITERATURE CITATION FOR CARIDEA DANA, 1852 (DECAPODA)

摘要

James Dwight Dana (1813-1895) was the mineralogist and geologist on board the United States Exploring Expedition, which under the command of Captain Charles Wilkes explored the Pacific Ocean from 1838 to 1842. Asides from publishing on the geology andthe zoophytes collected during the Expedition, he also published a fundamental work on the Crustacea between the years 1852 and 1855 (see Pirsson, 1919). However, as has been demonstrated in multiple publications (e.g., Low & Clark, 2010, Schweitzer etal., 2010), Dana had begun publishing on the Crustacea of the "Exploring Expedition" long before 1852. These were chiefly published in the "Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia" (i.e., Dana, 1852a) and the "American Journal of Science and Arts" (i.e., Dana, 1852b), those two papers being of prime interest to caridean systematics and taxonomy. The "Proceedings" paper (Dana, 1852a) appeared in the "American Journal of Science and Arts" (Dana, 1852b) in a slightly modified form with the inclusion of an earlier work on the Paguridea collected during the Expedition, as well as by the absence of diagnoses for the various species described in the "Proceedings" (Dana, 1852a). Fuller descriptions ofthe species and higher taxa appear in the formal report of the "Expedition", viz., Dana (1852c), with illustrations finally appearing in the "Atlas" (Dana, 1855).
