In zoology, if the term "auctor" is used today, this seems to be some insider slang rather than a widely used and accepted term. The person to describe a taxonomic name is commonly called the author (see author (zoology)). It is also the term used in the ICZN Code, in the Code's Glossary the term "auctorum" is referred to as a Latin expression for which the English translation is "of authors". It is not a technical term used today in zoological science, as the passage may suggest. --FranciscoWelterSchultes (talk) 14:32, 7 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
