Redescription
Scientific Name Notes van Beneden (1850; cit 470; pg. 278) was first to use the name A. dujardinii but no description or figures were presented. Later that year, Van Beneden (1850; cit 472; pg. 133) presented a complete description of this species, accompanied by figures. We consider cit 472 to be the first valid use of this name.
