Taxacom: Order Anura - correct authorship?

[Tony Rees]

For what it is worth, the only Dum?ril reference given in the 2020 Bubois
paper is

Dum?ril, A. M. C. (1805) *Zoologie analytique, ou m?thode naturelle de
classification des animaux, rendue plus facile ? l?aide de tableaux
synoptiques*. Paris (Allais), ?1806?: i?xxxiii + 1?544. <

Maybe the known publication date has been adjusted backwards from 1806 to
1805, I'm not sure.
