From editor or global species database

Authority There is no doubt that Rathke (1843) was using genus Siphonostoma Otto, and not a name he created himself, as he (page 211) mentions the type species Siphonostoma diplochaitus of Otto, 1820. However, Støp-Bowitz (1948) seems to be the originator of the incorrect attribution of the subsequent spelling as Siphonostoma to Rathke, 1843 rather than to Otto, although Støp-Bowitz,knew that the prior spelling of Siphostoma was created by Otto. The Hartman catalogue (1959: 419) is where the incorrect attribution of Siphonostoma to Rathke comes to prominence. Fauchald (1977: 117) repeated this incorrect attribution, and it was repeated in the WoRMS database, until the error was noticed in May 2021. This incorrect WoRMS record for Siphonostoma attributed to Rathke (1843) has been retained in order to redirect users to the correct authorship of Siphonostoma Otto, 1821, which is a silent (de facto, with no explanation) changed spelling substitute by Otto (1821) for Siphostoma Otto, 1920, which is a junior homonym to Siphostoma Rafinesque, 1810 in Pisces.
