Authority Möller mentions Beck as author. However, he doesn't indicate how he knew of Beck's name. It could be from labels of specimens, access to a manuscript, discussion with Beck, but there is no direct evidence of collaboration. Under the standards of that day, authors would attribute such names to Beck, but this can't be done under ICZN Article 50. The standard of Article 50.1.1 is not met: it is not clear that Beck wrote the description or what degree of involvement he had. (pers. com. G. Rosenberg - C. Vos, 2010) [details]
