In the Auk article:
Genus TADORNA Boie
Tadorna Boie, 1822, Isis von Oken, col. 564. Type, by
tautonymy, Anas tadorna Linnaeus.
From Zoonomen:Tadorna Citation
The Richmond Index and AOU Cl (5th and 6th) give Oken 1817 for the author.
Peters Checklist 1:449 and HBW give Boie Tagebuch Reise Norwegen pp.140,351.
Norman David has been very helpful with this. His email (2001.01.21):
"Alan
You give: Tadorna Oken 1817 Isis 1 p.1183
Here is Isis p. 1183 verbatim:
VI. Ord. Palmipeden
4 Fam. Lamellirostern
Mergus
Anas; Querquedula;
Anas, Tadorna, Souchet
Marila. Eider, Clangula,
Macreuse, Bernicla, An-
ser, Cygnus
It is difficult to see a valid genus description in the above text. I cannot see the "type by tautonymy Anas tadorna Linnaeus" listed in the above text (as given by AOU 1957: p. 70).
The correct citation for Tadorna is either:
Tadorna Boie 1822 Tagebuch Reise Norwegen pp. 140, 351 (as in HBW 1: 591)
or
Tadorna Fleming 1822 Philosophy of Zoology 2: 260 (as in Peters I, first Edition, and AOU 1931)
whichever has priority.

Absent any other indication, I follow Peters and HBW and use Boie rather than Fleming."
Tagebuch gehalten auf einer Reise durch Norwegen im Jahre 1817
By Friedrich Boie is supposed to be dated before May 1, 1822. Since he mentions the book in the Isis article.
https://books.google.com/books?id=V...KHd9dD40Q6AEIQTAD#v=onepage&q=Tadorna&f=false .
Boie, 1822, Isis von Oken, col. 564. is in heft five which might mean May 1822 or not.

If you use isis von Oken Boie lists two species of Tadorna T. familiaris and rutila (not A. tadorna)so no tautology??
The norwegian book only uses T. familiaris as a species and specifically mentions it equals Anas tadorna Lin. So tautology and monotypy. On the internet Fleming 1822 Tadorna genus has type Anas tadorna by monotypy? One problem the Norwegian book was edited with notes by Heinrich Boie.
A little more on T. ferruginea Pallas :
AOS: "Tadorna ferruginea (Pallas). Ruddy Shelduck. Anas ferrugineus Pallas, 1764, in Vroeg, Cat. Raisonne´ Coll. Oiseaux, Adumbr., p. 5. (no locality =Tartary.)"
C. D. Sherborne says it is listed as no. 358 but is really 258. Sherborne says “no locality cited but called Tartarysche Gans Anser Tartaricus ferrugineus Mas. in Catalouge.” On page 25 by Vosmear. (Rookmaaker & Pieters 2000)
