From editor or global species database
Authority The name Patella aenea was first published by Martyn (1784) in the Universal Conchologist, a work that has been placed on the Official Index of Rejected Works by the ICZN. Reeve (1854) used the name as valid and thus inadvertently became the author of Patella aenea. [details]
