When was Aegithalos caudatus trivirgatus first published (as Parus (Megisturus) trivirgatus)?
Was it 1848 (the accepted date), or was it 1847?
Siebold's Fauna japonica was published in different parts, fascicles with text and accompanying plates, later collated and republished in 5 volumes, of which the birds were published in 1850.
The one volume of Aves has Parus (Megisturus) trivirgatus on p. 71 (text) and pl. 34 (ill.).
Tracing the fascicles through Mlíkovský (2012) to the German publication Leipziger Repertorium der deutschen und ausländischen Literatur, which lists the instalments with dates, shows the following (assuming the page numbers and plate numbers correspond between fascicles and one-volume Aves):
This shows, again assuming page numbers and plate numbers correspond between the instalments and the one-volume Aves, that plate 34 of Parus trivirgatus was published in 1847 and the corresponding text in 1848. Shouldn't therefore the date for Aegithalos caudatus trivirgatus be 1847 instead of 1848? Unless publication of fasc. 5 was dated 1847 but only distributed in 1848.
Following on from this: how does one reference these instalments (whether fascicles or livraisons) generally? Are their titles the same as the book titles? The entries in the Leipziger Repertorium seem to suggest different.
