[Taxacom] multiple authors new species

[Rosenberg,Gary]

Code Recommendation 51C. Citation of multiple authors. When three or more joint authors have been responsible for a name, then the citation of the name of the authors may be expressed by use of the term "et al." following the name of the first author, provided that all authors of the name are cited in full elsewhere in the same work, either in the text or in a bibliographic reference.

Actually John, the zoological code, unlike the botanical code, says very little about how to cite authors, so et al. is fine.

Cheers, Stephen

 Dear colleagues,
 
 I expect that the answer is somewhere in the Rules of  Zoological  Nomenclature so I hope I will be forgiven my asking such a  simple question  in this venue. What is the recommended or accepted form of  author citation  for a species that has multiple authors, in this case an  insect -  Thitarodes biruensis (Fu and seven other authors, 2002).
 Should it be
 Thitarodes biruensis (Fu et. al., 2002) or something else?
 Its in
 parentheses as it was named under a different genus name.
 
 Thank you,
 
 John Grehan
