I am totally confused about publication date and author(s) of Sephanoides sephaniodes. If we look at Avibase here, we have a reference of
Actually the OD is in part 2 here and the cover/title page tells me 1828 here for the text. I know that it is possible that this part may have been published in several livraisons and therefore it is possible that Sephanoides sephaniodes was published in 1827 as in most sources but I have no yet evidence that this is true. Priority! The Dating of Scientific Names in Ornithology tells me on p. 122:
So it is still possible that the plate here was published in 1827. But here the book tells us:
OK it is just the list. There might be reasons to attribute this plates to both Garnot and Lesson (title page??) even if it looks ike Capitre VIII (p. 633 - 735) seems to authored by Lesson only. See here.
So why (Lesson & Garnot, 1827)? Is this correct against the code?
Maybe here, here, here, here, here and here from Sherborn and Woodward helps to figure this issue out.
I think I found the most recent publication on this book and pubishing dates here. So plate 31 seems to be from 25 Jul 1827.

The ornithological content was completed in the first 16 livraisons on zoology. The dates on the title pages of the two parties (parts) of vol. 1 are inaccurate: part 1 was completed in 1828 and partie 2 began in 1829 and was completed in 1830.
So it is still possible that the plate here was published in 1827. But here the book tells us:
The "Atlas" contains a list of the plates which includes text page numbers and this list would thus seem to have been published not earlier than 1830.
