No, those are the investigators who formally described the species. In a 
scientific publication the species name is typically followed by the 
describers. You will find that after every species in AWOK. If you look 
in the old JAKAs the authors of articles, at least the more scientific 
of them, followed the same convention.

Perhaps I just misunderstand, but when you read in Wildekamps AWOK series and look up the name Aphyosemion cyanostictum, it is followed by the names Lambert and Gery and the date 1968. What exactly is this data respectfully about? Is it the men who found them first and then had them classified? And is this the year they were originally collected or classified?
