Authority specific name credited to Philippson in ICZN Opinión 495/1957. Names established in a thesis by Philipsson, working under his advisor Retzius at the University of Lund were, by the law or custom then prevailing, credited to the professor. However this name was published separately by Retzius in Mémoires de l'Académie Royale des Sciences (Turin) and remains credited to Retzius [details]
