 Comments
       
  Comment: La Mout (1853, pp. 57 and 66) used the genus name Coragyps and atributed it to I. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (and many others followed suit, e.g. Gray 1855), but in fact this is the work that made the name available, and it is attributable solely to La Mout. See Gregory (1998)
