Yes, sometimes a larger work by one named author incorporates a
chapter written by another author, whose name does not appear on the
cover.

For instance, Olsson & Harbison's 1953 "Pliocene Mollusca of Southern
Florida" does not show it on the cover, but contains chapters by
William fargo and H A Pilsbry, who describe new taxa such as
Pilsbry's Solariopsis basilissus. I guess the correct authorship for
this species would then be Solariopsis basilissus Pilsbry in Olsson &
Harbison 1953. Mins you, the authors atop each page are "Olsson,
Harbison, Fargo and Pilsbry", in which case, what authorship would be
correct?
