Authority Knight-Jones (1983) records the authorship as Moore in Moore & Bush. While this is probably a correct interpretation of the respective contributions, as Bush is given sole authorship of the spirorbids, it is NOT explicitly stated. The article authorship is Moore & Bush (misspelled 'Busch'), thus that is the authorship to be used. [details]Unreviewed
