↑ The date of publication of Alston's name is listed alternatively in the literature as 1876[2] or 1877.[3] The name was proposed on p. 756 of the 1876 issue of the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, but the parts of this journal were not always published in the volume year.[4] A 2005 review confirms that p. 756 of the 1876 volume was published in 1877.[5]
