Systema naturae per regna tria naturae, secundum classes, ordines, genera, species, cum characteribus, differentiis, synonymis, locis. Tomus I. Editio duodecima, reformata.
Holmiae [= Stockholm], Laurentii Salvii: [10] + 11-532.
–Allen 298. The twelfth edition and the last to appear during Linnaeus' lifetime. For this reason it was long regarded as the most authoritative, in preference to the tenth ed. Since it (unlike the tenth ed.) includes the walrus in the genus Trichechus, the eventual result was that the latter name became attached to the walrus instead of the manatee for the following century and a half. "Trichecus [sic] Manatus" (including both the manatee and the dugong), 49-50.
The name Trichechus Linnaeus, 1766 was declared a junior homonym of Trichechus Linnaeus, 1758 by ICZN Direction 24 (1955); therefore it has no separate nomenclatural validity.
According to Allen, "In the Vindobonae reprint (1767), styled 'Editio decima tertia, ad Editionem duodecimam reformatam Holmiensem,' the pagination and matter relating to [the Sirenia] is the same as here." See also J. F. Gmelin (1788).
