Original source.

Lamarck 1822: 168.

Type locality.

"Dans les rivières des îles de l’Archipel” [it is unknown which Archipel Lamarck referred to].

Remarks.

The species first appeared without name on a plate in the "Tableau encyclopédique et méthodique, vol. 3" by Lamarck (1797). The captions for most plates of the three volumes work were prepared by Bory de Saint-Vincent, but apparently not before 1824, and added to the "Tableau encyclopédique et méthodique, vol. 1" of Bruguière (1791; see note on pp. 83-84). In the captions, Bory de Saint-Vincent also referred to the "Histoire naturelle" (vol. 6, part 2) by Lamarck (1822), where the name first occurred.
