雅各布绿色出生于1790年的一个著名的新泽西家庭的学者和神学家。1818年至1822年，他在新泽西学院（现普林斯顿大学）任教，1825年共同创办杰斐逊医学院（现托马斯杰斐逊大学），在那里他教化学，直到1841年去世。在1818年至1831年间，他发表了一系列关于蜥蜴、蝾螈和蛇的论文，其中包括对美国东部几种著名蝾螈的原始描述。他的许多名字都是模棱两可的;有些已经被ICZN裁定，而其他人目前被视为无名氏。在这里，我们回顾了所有的绿色的出版物，报告新重新发现或重新解释的材料，从几个主要的自然历史收藏，并解决大多数，如果不是所有剩余的问题，通过一系列的分类行动。特别是，我们首先指定了Salamandra nigra绿色，1818的一个新模式。然后我们将S。sinciput-albida绿色，1818和S. frontalis Gray，1831年与S. scutata Temminck in Temminck & Schlegel，1838并援引第23.9条之下的优先权来指定它们为无主名。我们还指定了S的一个选择模式。bislineata绿色，1818年。最后，我们复活了S这个名字。fusca绿色，1818作为种Desmognathus fuscus的有效名称，假定优先于Triturus fuscus Rafinesque，1820，指定S. fusca Laurenti，1768 a nomen oblitum，并将S.黑绿色，1818年的同义词。虽然绿色的爬虫学遗产不像他的一些继任者，如霍尔布鲁克，他仍然是一个基础的早期工作者在蝾螈，描述了一些最研究的物种在世界上。
Jacob Green was born in 1790 to a prominent New Jersey family of scholars and theologians. He taught at the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) from 1818 to 1822 before co-founding Jefferson Medical College (now Thomas Jefferson University) in 1825, where he taught Chemistry until his death in 1841. Between 1818 and 1831, he published a series of nine papers on lizards, salamanders, and snakes, authoring the original description of several well-known species of salamanders from the eastern United States. Many of his names are ambiguous; some have been adjudicated by the ICZN, while others are currently treated as nomina dubia. Here, we review all of Green’s publications, report on newly re-discovered or re-interpreted material from several major natural history collections, and resolve most if not all remaining issues through a series of taxonomic actions. In particular, we first designate a neotype for Salamandra nigra Green, 1818. We then place S. sinciput-albida Green, 1818 and S. frontalis Gray in Cuvier, 1831 in synonymy with S. scutata Temminck in Temminck & Schlegel, 1838 and invoke Reversal of Precedence under Article 23.9 to designate them nomina oblita. We also designate a lectotype for S. bislineata Green, 1818. Finally, we resurrect the name S. fusca Green, 1818 as the valid name for the species Desmognathus fuscus, assuming priority over Triturus fuscus Rafinesque, 1820, designating S. fusca Laurenti, 1768 a nomen oblitum, and placing S. nigra Green, 1818 in synonymy. While Green’s herpetological legacy is not as expansive as that of some of his successors such as Holbrook, he is nonetheless a foundational early worker in salamanders, having described some of the most-studied species in the world.
