 Comments
       
  Comment: Dating of Reichenbach's work is complicated because there is no date on the title page. The way sections of the work (pages i-viii, 1-36, and I-XXXI) were stitched have historically made it a challenge to determine the exact constitution of the publication. Names used in section 1-36 may not be validly introduced per ICZN rules. Pilherodius appears in a paragraph on p. 26 https://archive.org/details/dievollstand361836reic, and a type species (Ardea pileata Boddaert, 1783) is provided on page XVI https://archive.org/details/dievollstand361836reic. The consensus is to use the date 1853. See Dickinson et al., p 134
