Author citation
[edit]FishBase, used as a reference in this article, does not use initials in author citations for any of the species in this genus (Scientific Names where Genus Equals Hemipsilichthys); neither does Catalog of Fishes, another major fish database (Species in the genus Hemipsilichthys).
From the WP article on author citation:
- "If the same surname is common to more than one author, initials are sometimes given" but "not all animal groups / databases use this convention" and " it should be noted that in the examples given in the Code and also the ICZN Official Lists and Indexes, initials are not used".
