"Vide" in genus authorities?
What does it mean when there's a genus authority that looks something like:
*Abyssalsaurus* Marjanovic vide Peters and Habib 2010
?
I understand that "vide" is Latin for "see," but what sort of "situation"
causes a need for that sort of thing? Would it be something along the lines of
Marjanovic coining the name *Abyssalsaurus* and revealing the beasty in a
presentation to the SVP, but Peters and Habib turning out to be the guys that
actually ended up publishing a formal description?
I don't really get it. Can anyone help?
