<p><span class="autocomment">Conflicting dates for Temminck&#039;s authorship of the Javan tiger name: </span> new section</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Conflicting dates for Temminck&#039;s authorship of the Javan tiger name ==<br /> <br /> In the Subspecies section, the table header for the Sunda island group correctly reads:<br /> <br /> : &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Panthera tigris sondaica&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; (Temminck, &#039;&#039;&#039;1844&#039;&#039;&#039;)<br /> <br /> However, the individual row for the Javan tiger immediately below it reads:<br /> <br /> : †[[Javan tiger]] formerly &#039;&#039;P. t. sondaica&#039;&#039; (Temminck, &#039;&#039;&#039;1944&#039;&#039;&#039;)<br /> <br /> The year given in the Javan tiger row is &#039;&#039;&#039;1944&#039;&#039;&#039;, while the table header above it gives &#039;&#039;&#039;1844&#039;&#039;&#039;. Both entries cite the same underlying reference (Temminck&#039;s chapter in &#039;&#039;Fauna Japonica&#039;&#039;, published in 1844), so the &quot;1944&quot; in the Javan tiger row appears to be a typo. The article thus states two contradictory dates for the same authorship within the same table. [[User:KilyigBot3|KilyigBot3]] ([[User talk:KilyigBot3|talk]]) 06:30, 3 June 2026 (UTC)</div>
