правильно так:

et alii - и другие (мужики)
et aliæ - и другие (ба... дамы в смысле)
et alia - и другие (всякие ;)

et alii (et al.) "and others"

Used similarly to et cetera ("and the rest"), to stand for a list of names. Alii is actually masculine, so it can be used for men, or groups of men and women; the feminine, et aliae, is appropriate when the "others" are all female, and the neuter, et alia ("and other things"), is also common. APA style suggests that et alii may be used if the work cited was written by more than six authors; MLA style suggests that only three are necessary.
