INTRODUCTORY NOTE
This present memoir is a continuation of a paper entitled, The Genera of Fishes, from Linnceus to Cuvier, 1758-1833 J seventy-five years, with the accepted type of each, a contribution to the stability of scientific nomenclature, published by the present writer in 1917.
It is likewise a contribution to the stability of scientific nomencla¬ ture. It covers what may be termed the mediaeval period of systematic ichthyology, the time in which nomenclature is fairly established, but in which, for want of a general zoological record, many papers have been overlooked or forgotten.
This period is especially marked by the studies of Professor Agassiz on the fossil fishes, by the exhaustive record of the fishes of the East Indies by Dr. Bleeker, and by the unification of ichthyological knowledge by Valenciennes and by Dr. Gunther. Gunther’s Catalogue of the Fishes of the British Museum, 1859-1870, must always remain the solid founda¬ tion on which systematic zoology is built. This period is also marked by the studies in comparative zoology by Dr. Johannes Muller and by the opening to science of the rich fresh-water fauna of North and South America. In this period wrote also the keenest of taxonomic critics, Dr. Gill, whose conceptions of genera and of families are likely in a large degree to constitute the last word in regard to the status of groups of this grade. Other notable writers whose work has been of a high order are Richardson, Schlegel, Lowe, Egerton, Reinhardt, Poey, Heckel, Kner, Pictet, Holbrook, Baird, Troschel, Owen, McClelland, Riippell, Henle, Storer, DeKay, Ayres, Cooper, Girard and Cope. Of the many writers in the period preceding the year 1870, Steindachner only, one of the most industrious and accurate, is still living. When the writer vis¬ ited him in Vienna in 1913 he was still, at the age of 79, hard at work, and one ‘important paper of his bearing date of 1915 has found its way through the vicissitudes of censorship to my library.
In accordance with the philosophy of evolution, the writers at the end of this period have inverted the fish series, the simplest and most ancient types being placed first in taxonomic records, rather than the perch and its relatives, so long regarded as typifying the perfect or com¬ pleted fish.

THE GENERA OF FISHES, PART II
Compilations of this sort constitute an exercise in modesty. They can never be made absolutely complete nor free from errors. In the present case, the author cannot be certain that the genotype he indi¬ cates is actually the one chosen by the first reviser. The compilation itself deals with the work of great minds, but also with a degree of igno¬ rance, carelessness and perversity by which names were multiplied with no corresponding increase of ideas. Synonymy in general is the index of lack of actual knowledge, or else, of the failure to deal justly with the work of others, “a burden and a disgrace to science”. No system of naming can be beyond the knowledge on which it rests. Ignorance of fact produces confusion in nomenclature.
The science of ichthyology, to which the present series of papers offers a kind of key, is the work of many scholars, each in his own field, each contributing a series of facts, a series of tests of the work of others, or else some improvement in the method of arrangement. As in other branches of science, this work has been done by sincere, devoted men, impelled by a love for this kind of labor, and having in view, as “the only reward they asked, a grateful remembrance of their work”. And as future generations may be lenient towards our own shortcomings, we should be generous towards those of our predecessors.
In so far as the present paper assumes to decide questions of nomen¬ clature, it follows strictly the rules agreed on by the International Com¬ mission. Of these, the one of most vital importance is concerned with the rigid enforcement of the law of priority.
The writer expresses his special obligation to Mr. Barton A. Bean of the United States National Museum, and to Henry Weed Fowler of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia for services in examining rare or forgotten books, and to Mr. Masamitsu Oshima, for valuable aid in compilation. He is also under special obligations to Mr. R. A. Nelgner of the Stanford University Press for his care in ensuring accuracy in this difficult piece of work. In arranging the genera of fossil fishes, he has depended almost entirely on the Catalogue of the Fossil Fishes in the British Museum , by Arthur Smith Woodward. The cataloguing of the scattered and multifarious genera of Dr. Bleeker has been made possible by the Index of the Ichthyological Papers of P. Bleeker, by Dr. Max Weber and Dr. L. F. de Beaufort. In matters of citation of titles Dean’s Bibliography of Fishes has been absolutely indispensable. The writer hopes to complete this work by a final paper covering the period from 1859 to 1920. The need of such compilation grows progressively less, as the Zoological Record of London, beginning with 1864, contains references to nearly all the generic names of subsequent date, although having occasional surprising omissions.
INTRODUCTORY NOTE
165
The writer asks for additions and corrections, that the work may be as helpful as possible to students of fishes.
It will be noted that the genera have been arranged as far as may be in chronological order, publications of the same year being arranged in alphabetical order in accord with the names of authors.
The term orthotype is applied to the type of a genus as indicated or distinctly implied by the original author. A logotype is one selected by the “first reviser”. A haplotype is the sole species named under a genus, therefore of necessity an orthotype as well. A tautotype is a name of a genus identical with the specific name of one of its components.

1. LINN/EUS (1758). Systema Natures. Ed. X, Vol. 1.
Carl Linne (Carolus Linnaeus). (1707-1778.)
Trigla Linnaeus, 300; logotype T. gurnardus L., as restricted by Kaup, 1873, Ap¬ parently this should replace the later restriction to T. lyra L. of Jordan & Gilbert, 1883, this species being type of Lyrichthys Kaup.
Mormyrus Linnaeus, 327 ; logotype M. caschive Hasselquist, as restricted by Gill. (Not M. cyprinoides L., as stated in part 1, page 15; this species is the type of Marcusenius Gill.)
Tetraodon Linnaeus, 332; logotype T. lineatus L. I am compelled to revise my judgment, as given in part I of the Genera of Fishes, page 15, in which I present the reasons for regarding T. testudineus L. as the type of Tetraodon. This judgment is based on Bleeker’s restriction of the genus in 1865. I find that an earlier restriction was made by Bonaparte in the Fauna Italica , about 1841, “Tetraodon lineatus Bloch” being taken as type following a suggestion of Swainson. Bloch’s account includes the synonymy and description of T. lineatus L., although the figure he offers may have been based on an exam¬ ple of T. stellatus.
In this view of the case, the type of Tetraodon should be T. lineatus, a fresh-water species of the Nile, with which the numerous marine species called Ovoides (Arothron) may not be congeneric. According to Dr. Gill, the type of Tetraodon is distinguished from the Pacific species known as Ovoides by the form of the frontal bones, a matter which needs further elucidation.
In this view the name Spheroides should stand, as used by Jordan and Evermann, for the allies of T. testudineus L.

7. HOUTTUYN (1764). Naturlike historie volgens den Heer Linnceus.
Martin Houttuyn.
Conger Houttyn, VII, 103, and Torpedo Houttuyn, VII, 453, as quoted in Genera of Fishes, page 22, are not presented by Houttuyn as generic names, and the reference to them should be canceled.
In a personal letter dated August 23, 1918, Mr. C. Davies Sherborn says : “Torpedo is the trivial Linnsean name of the species Raja torpedo and Con¬ ger is the trivial Linnsean part of the species name Murajna conger. Neither name is used scientifically nor is there any intention on Houttuyn’s part to do more than quote the Linnaean term for the fish he describes as ‘Kramp- fisch’ and ‘Conger’.”
The record of this work of Houttuyn should therefore be erased as hav ing no relation to scientific nomenclature.

Periophthalmus Bloch & Schneider, 63; logotype, as first restricted (by Gill, 1863) Gobius schlosseri Pallas. The name therefore replaces Periophthalmodon Blkr., while the common species known as Periophthalmus barbarus or P. koelreuteri is the type of Euchoristopus Gill (1863).
Synanceja Bloch & Schneider, 194; logotype S. verrucosa Bl. & Schn., as first restricted by Muller, 1843. This limitation to species without vomerine teeth holds as against Bleeker’s restriction to the first species named, S. horrida. Synanceja thus replaces Spurco Commerson, Synanceichthys Blkr. and Emmydrichthys Jordan & Rutter. S. horrida is type of Synancidium Muller. I am not convinced by Bleeker’s statement that Synancidium is not a valid genus.
Fluta Bloch & Schneider, 565 ; orthotype Monopterus javanensis Lac. Name a substitute for Monopterus Lac. (1798). The latter is preoccupied by Mo¬ nopteros Volta (1796). The type species should stand as Fluta alba (Zuieuw) .

Enoplosus Lacecepede, IV, 540 ; orthotype Ch^todon armatus Shaw. This genus dates from 1803. The name Enoplosus was not used by White in 1790.
Stolephorus Lacepede, V, 381 ; logotype S. commersonianus Lac. In view of the fact that the descriptions of Stolephorus of Lacepede, Bleeker and Jordan were drawn from this species, the second-named by Lacepede, it may well be regarded as the type of Stolephorus. S. japonicus, the first-named species and the one first formally indicated as type, was very scantily described, and was unknown to authors until very recently. In this view Stolephorus will replace or include Anchoviella Fowler (1911). This reverses the decision in part I, page 67.

This genus, overlooked by subsequent writers, seems to belong to the Osphronemid.e, an ally of Macropodus. It is said to have large fan-like ventrals of at least eight rays, the dorsal extending from the nape to the base of the caudal, which is narrow, forked, its lobes half as long as rest of body ; pectorals small ; anal very low. This may be, as suggested by Dr. Gunther for Macropodus, a domesticated form of Polyacanthus. Both names, if correctly written (Macropus; Platypus), are preoccupied.

Hypodytes Gistel (1848) is also a substitute name, but the indi¬ cated type (longispinis) is a Paracentropogon of Bleeker, also not mentioned by Cuvier. Prosopodasys Cantor, 1849, is also given as a substitute name for Apistus and must retain the same type. If Apistus is preoccupied, I think that Pterichthys should replace it. . . .

This sumptuous and finely illustrated work was issued in separate fasci¬ cles from 1832 to 1842. The fishes seem to begin with fascicle VI in 1837. The last are in fascicle 160, probably issued in 1841. There is no paging, and exact dates, except for a few fascicles, are inaccessible to me. I there¬ fore divide the work into three parts, 1837, 1840 and 1841. Fascicles 156 to 160 are subsequent to Swainson’s Natural History, 1839, from which they quote. So far as I know, no question of nomenclature hinges on these uncer¬ tain dates. Troschel ( Archiv . Naturg.) gives the date 1884 for fascicles “Lieferungen” VI to XI, 1837 for XVI to XX, 1838 for XXVI to XXIII, 1839 for XXIV to XXVI, and 1840 for XXVII ; but these “deliveries” seem not to correspond to the fascicles.

Apocryptes (Osbeck) Cuvier & Valenciennes, XII, 143; orthotype Gobius pectini- rostis Gmelin = Apocryptes chinensis Osbeck, 1757, and in later transla¬ tions (after 1758). Apocryptes Cuv. & Val. is plainly a revival of Osbeck’s genus, and the name ought not legitimately to be transferred to another group as has been done by Gunther and Bleeker. Bleeker makes Gobius bato Ham. the type of Apocryptes Cuv. & Val., as this is the first species named by these authors under Apocryptes. But it would seem that Osbeck’s haplotype (A. chinensis) must be accepted in the revival of his genus, in which case Apocryptes (Osbeck) Cuv. & Val. replaces Boleophphalmus Cuv. & Val. (p. 198). As against the views here expressed, it may be urged that the pre- Linmean name Apocryptes Osbeck has no standing and Apocryptes Cuv. & Val. is really based on Gobius bato, a species actually in hand, as the descrip¬ tion shows. Apocryptes chinensis (pectinirostris) was included by error, it being a member in fact of the genus Boleophthalmus Cuv. & Val., as later writers have recognized. It may be urged further that the first desig¬ nation of type of Apocryptes is that of Bleeker, who places it on Apocryptes bato.
A further point is that accepting Apocryptes in the Osbeckian sense leaves the genus of Cuvier and Valenciennes without a name, unless we accept Gobileptes Sw. But the scales in Gobileptes are described as large, while those of Apocryptes bato are “exceedingly small”. Swainson obviously drew his Gobileptes from the description of Gobius acutipinnis Cuv. & Val., later abandoning the genus, which he does not again notice. Among the numerous genera of sharp-tailed gobies, I have not found the proper place for (Gobi¬ leptes acutipinnis. This generic name, Gobilepres Sw., with no species mentioned, is interpreted by Bleeker as referring to Gobius bato and hence is regarded by him as a synonym of Apocryptes.
Boleophthalmus Cuvier & Valenciennes, XII, 198 ; orthotype Gobius bodd^rti Pal¬ las. Perhaps a synonym of Apocryptes (Osbeck) Cuv. & Val., which see above.

William Swainson.
In a review of Swainson’s Genera of Fishes, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1882, page 272, Dr. Joseph Swain has made identifications of all of the series Swainson’s genera, indicating a logotype for each. This designation of type must stand in every case, except when a prior indication has been made, as was done in a few cases by Bonaparte and by Bleeker. Swainson’s work is perhaps the last and certainty the most unwelcome of an unfortunate series to which belong Scopoli’s Introductio, Fischer’s Zoognosia, Rafinesque’s Analyse de la Nature, works which treat of the whole scope of Ichthyology, adding new genera here and there, but without special investigation of the animals concerned, leaving their generic names imperfectly defined as a bur¬ den to the real students who must give to these names their final meaning. Of the 153 new names introduced by Swainson, about 30 must be retained on the score of priority of date, but there is not a dozen of the whole number based on any clear understanding of the relations of the species indicated. In Chapter I of Vol. 2, on pages 167 to 197, Swainson gives an analytical key to the genera he recognizes. In this part no species are mentioned and in several cases the. genera bear other names when they appear later in the reg¬ ular text in Chapter II of Vol. 2 (197-339).
Erosa Swainson, II, 61 ; tautotype Synanceia erosa Langsdorff ; type not indicated but understood from context, and from the generic name chosen. The genus is valid and was revived by Jordan & Starks (1904).
Trichosomus Swainson, II, 61, 265; logotype Apistus trachinoides Cuv. & Val. Accidentally spelled also Trichophasia on page 61. Regarded as preoccupied by Trichosoma, a genus of worms, and by Trichosomus, a genus of bettles ; replaced by Vespicula Jordan & Rich. Prosopodasys Cantor, originally a substitute name for Apistus, is transferred by Gunther to A. trachinoides, an arrangement apparently not allowable, as Cuvier does not mention that species among “les Apistes”. Trichophasia, an error, not a new name, seems also ineligible.
Trichophasia Swainson, II, 61 ; (used evidently by error of proof-reader for Tri¬ chosomus) which form appears before and after on page 61 and formally on page 279.
Clinitrachus Swainson, II, 75; II, 276; orthotype (on p. 75) Blennius variabilis Raf., a species not mentioned pn page 276, hence Bf superciliosus L., a species of Clinus, was indicated as type by Swain. A synonym of Cristi- ceps Cuv. & Val. (1836).
198
THE GENERA OF FISHES, PART II
Blennitrachus Swainson, II, 78; II, 274; orthotype Pholis quadrifasciatus Wood. A synonym of Ch as modes Cuv.
Cichlaurus Swainson, II, 173; haplotype (230) Labrus punctatus Bloch. Later called Cichlasoma, which name it should replace.
Dendrochirus Swainson, II, 180; logotype Pterois zebra Cuv. & Val.
Pteropterus Swainson, II, 180; logotype (p. 264) Pterois radiatus Cuv. & Val.
A synonym of Pterois Cuv.
Psilosomus Swainson, II, 183; logotype T^nioides herrmannianus Lac. A syn¬ onym of Tasnioides Lac.
Gobileptes Swainson, II, 183; no type named; orthotype intended (as is evident from Swainson’s description) Gobius acutipinnis Cuv. & Val. “like Gobius, but the caudal lanceolate and the scales large”. Bleeker (1876) has, how¬ ever, fixed the type, none having been named before, on Gobius bato Ham. This raises a question in nomenclature already noted under Apocryptes (1837).
Salmostoma Swainson, II, 184; logotype Cyprinus bacaila Ham. on page 284, where the genus is called Salmophasia. Replaces Securicula Gthr., 1868.
Scrophicephalus Swainson, II, 187 ; no type named, Mormyrus caschive Hassel- quist intended (“dorsal fin single, very long; snout produced”). A synonym of Mormyrus L., as restricted by Gill (1862).
Ariosoma Swainson, II, 194; logotype as restricted by Bleeker, 1864, Ophisoma acuta Sw. = Murzena balearica De la Roche. Replaces Congermuiuena Kaup (1856) and Congrellus Ogilby 1898.
Leiodon • Swainson, II, 194; logotype Leiosomus marmoratus Sw. = Tetraodon cutcutia Ham., as defined by Bleeker (1865). Swain restricts the name Leiosomus as later substituted by Swainson for Leiodon, to Leiosomus l^evissimus Sw., which is Tetraodon spengleri Bloch, a species of Spheroides. Leiodon Sw. has precedence over Leiodon Owen, 1841, and replaces Monotreta Bibron.
Canthigaster Swainson, II, 194; logotype Tetraodon rostratus Bloch. Called Psilonotus later in the text; replaces Anosmius Peters.
Cromileptes Swainson, II, 201 ; logotype Serranus altivelis Cuv. & Val. Restricted by Bleeker (1875) to S. altivelis, thus replacing Serranichthys Blkr. Later restricted by Swain to Epinephelus gigas.
Cynichthys Swainson, II, 201 ; haplotype Perca flavopurpurea Bennett = Holo- centrus flavooeruleus Lac. A synonym of Epinephelus (not Plectorhyn- chus as stated by Swain).
Variola Swainson, II, 202; haplotype V. longipinna Sw. = Perca louti Forskal. '
Uriphaeton Swainson, II, 202; orthotype Serranus phaeton Cuv. & Val. = U. microleptes Sw. This genus is based on a made-up fish, a Cephalopholis, with the tail of a Fistularia attached. A synonym of Cephalopholis Bl. & Schn.
Elastoma Swainson, II, 202; type Etelis oculatus (Cuv. & Val.). A synonym of Etelis Cuv.
Rabdophorus Swainson, II, 211; haplotype Ch^todon ephippium Bloch. A sub¬ division of Ch^todon.
Genicanthus Swainson, II, 212; logotype Holacanthus lamarcki (Cuv.) A synonym of Holacanthus Lac. *
Microcanthus Swainson, II, 215; haplotype Ch.etodon strigatus Cuv., a wilful misprint for Micracanthus.

Chaetolabrus Swainson, II, 216; logotype Ch^etodon suratensis Bloch. A synonym of Etroplus Cuv.
Chrysoblephus Swainson, II, 221 ; haplotype Sparus gibbiceps Cuv. A section under Sparus L.
Argyrops Swainson, II, 221 ; haplotype Sparus spinifer Forskal. A section under Sparus L.
Calamus Swainson, II, 221 ; haplotype Pagellus calamus Cuv. & Val. = Calamus MEGACEPHALUS Sw.
Lithognathus Swainson, II, 222; haplotype Sparus capensis Cuv.
Nemipterus Swainson, II, 223; haplotype Dentex filamentosus Cuv. Replaces Synagris Gthr., 1859.
Thalassoma Swainson, II, 224; haplotype Labrus purpureus Riippell. Stands in place of Julis Gthr., not of Cuvier.
Urichthys Swainson, II, 224; logotype Labrus lunulatus Riippell. A synonym of Cheilinus Lac.
Crassilabrus Swainson, II, 225; haplotype Cheilinus undulatus Riippell. A sec¬ tion under Cheilinus Lac.
Leptoscarus Swainson, II, 226; haplotype Scarus vaigiensis Q. & G. == Scarus spinidens Cuv. = Calliodon vaigiensis Cuv. & Val. Replaces Calotomus Gilbert, and Calliodon Cuv. ; not Callyodon of Gronow nor Calliodon of Bl. & Schn.
Hemistoma Swainson, II, 226; haplotype Scarus pepo Bennett = Hemistoma reticulata Sw. A synonym of Callyodon Gronow or Scarus Forskal.
Erychthys Swainson, II, 226; logotype Labrus croicensis Bloch. A synonym of Callyodon Gronow or Scarus Forskal.
Petronason Swainson, II, 226; logotype Coryph^ena psittacus L. as restricted by Bleeker and by Swain. A synonym of Callydodon or Scarus.
Pachynathus Swainson, II, 226 (misprint for Pachygnathus) ; haplotype P. tri¬ angularis Sw., based on Rahtee yellaicah Russell = Balistes capistratus Shaw. Name preoccupied as Pachygnathus ; replaced by Sufflamen Jordan, 1917. 'The International Commission of Nomenclature has decided that Pachynathus is to be regarded as a misprint, hence identical with Pachygnathus.
Chlorurus Swainson, II, 227 ; haplotype Scarus gibbus Riippell. A synonym of Callyodon or Scarus.
Amphiscarus Swainson, II, 227 ; Scarus fuscus Griffith. A synonym of Siganus Forskal.
Sparisoma Swainson, II, 227 ; haplotype Scarus abildgaardi Bloch. Equivalent to Scarus Gthr., which it replaces ; not Scarus of Forskal, which should stand as Callyodon Gronow, if Gronow’s names are allowed.
Hemiulis Swainson, II, 228; logotype Labrus guttatus Bloch, as restricted by Bonaparte ( Fauna Italica, 1841). Swain (1882) chose Cheilio auratus Q. & G. as type regarding Hemiulis as a synonym of Cheilio. If Hali- chceres Riippell is regarded as preoccupied by Halichcerus, Hemiulis must replace it instead of Chcerojulis Gill.
200
THE GENERA OF FISHES, PART II
Cynaedus Swainson, II, 229; logotype Labrus rupestris Bloch, as restricted by Bonaparte, Labrus tinca, as restricted by Swain. Swainson offers this name as a substitute for Crenilabrus Cuv., of which he wrongly assigns Luti- anus verres, a Bodianus, as type. Cyna£dus Sw. (not of Gronow or Scopoli) is a synonym of Ctenolabrus Cuv. & Val.
Astronotus Swainson, II, 229 ; haplotype Lobotes ocellatus Spix. Replaces Acara Heckel and Hygrogonus Gthr., 1862.
Thalliurus Swainson, II, 230; haplotype Labrus blochi = Labrus fuligi nosus Lac. Replaces Hemigymnus Gthr., 1864.
Labristoma Swainson, II, 230; logotype Pseudochromis olivaceus Riippell. A needless substitute for Pseudochromis Riippell, 1835.
Cichlasoma Swainson, II, 230; haplotype Labrus punctatus Bloch. Called Cich- laurus on page 173; equivalent to Heros Heckel (1840) as restricted; appar¬ ently Cichlaurus should stand.
Ichthycailus Swainson, II, 232; logotype Labrus julis L., as restricted by Bona¬ parte (1839). Swain has chosen (1882) Labrus semipunctatus as type, a species of Coris Lac. Jordan later took the first species named, dimidiatus, as type, a species of Iridio. Ichthycallus is a synonym of Julis Cuv. & Val. “Chlorichthys and Ichthycallus, confused jumble of species, may well be disposed of as synonyms of Thalassoma and Coris, respectively, although several other genera are represented in each.” (Swain.)
Eupemis Swainson, II, 232; haplotype Labrus fusiformis Riippell. A synonym of Cheilio Lac.
Chlorichthys Swainson, II, 232; logotype Labrus bifasciatus Bloch, as restricted by Swain. Bonaparte selects as type Labrus pavo Hasselquist, a species not mentioned by Swainson. A synonym of Thalassoma Sw.
Zanclurus Swainson, II, 239; type Histiophorus indicus Cuv. & Val. A synonym of Istiophorus Lac.
Zyphothyca Swainson, II, 239; type Gempylus coluber Cuv. & Val.; for Xipho- tfieca Montague. A synonym of Gempylus Cuv.
Leiurus Swainson, II, 242; logotype Gasterosteus aculeatus L. A synonym of Gasterosteus L.
Polycanthus Swainson, II, 242; type Gasterosteus spinachia L. A synonym of Spinachia Fleming, 1825. Polycanthus is also preoccupied.
Chirostoma Swainson, II, 242; haplotype Atherina humboldtiana Cuv. & Val.
Meladerma Swainson, II, 243 ; haplotype M. nigerrima Sw. = Elacate pondi- cerriana Cuv. & Val. A synonym of Rachycentron Kaup (1826), and of Elacate Cuv. (1831).
Platylepes Swainson, II, 247 ; haplotype Scomber lactarius Bl. & Schn. A syn¬ onym of Lactarius Cuv. & Val.
Argyrlepes Swainson, II, 247 ; haplotype Argyrlepes indica Sw., based on Mitta parah of Russell, pi. 156, a species of Leiognathus. A synonym of Leiognathus Lac.
Alepes Swainson, II, 248; haplotype Alepes melanoptera Sw., based on Wori parah Russell, pi. 155, apparently the same as Caranx nigripinnis Day, a species of Hemicaranx ; apparently replaces Hemicaranx Blkr.
Zonichthys Swainson, II, 248; type Scomber fasciatus Bloch. A section or sub¬ genus under Seriola.
Hamiltonia Swainson, II, 250; logotype H. ovata Sw. = Chanda nama Ham. (fig. 37) as fixed by Swain (1882). Hamiltonia is given as a substitute for
SWAINSON, 1839
201
Chanda Ham., and the fixation of type for the substitute decides that of the original name. Chanda nama is the orthotype of Bogoda Blkr., a genus well defined, Ambassis bogoda being the type species. Swainson’s second species, Chanda lala Ham., which he spells lata, belongs to Bleeker’s genus Pseudambassis. This was chosen as type of Chanda by Fowler, and still later C. ruconius by Jordan, but Swain’s choice of type must hold. Hamiltonia and Bogoda are therefore both synonyms of Chanda Ham.
Platysomus Swainson, II, 250; logotype Vomer browni Cuv. & Val. A synonym of Vomer; name preoccupied.
Ctenodon Swainson, II, 255 ; logotype Ctenodon ruppelli Sw. = Ch.e:todon sohal Forskal, not Ctenodon Bon. nor of Ehrenberg. A synonym of Hepatus Gronow, Teuthis L. and Acanthurus Forskal.
Callicanthus Swainson, II, 256; haplotype Aspisurus elegans Riippell — Harpurus liTuratus Forster. A section or genus near Naso.
Zebrasoma Swainson, II, 256; haplotype Acanthurus velifer Bloch.
Xiphichthys Swainson, II, 259; haplotype Gymnetrus russelli Shaw. A synonym of Regalecus Brunnich. (Also, II, 46.)
Xiphasia Swainson, II, 259; type “Ziphasia setifer” Sw. Replaces Nemophis Kaup (1858) and Xiphogadus Gthr. (1862).
Nemotherus (Rafinesque) Swainson (II, 260) ; orthotype N. erythropterus Raf. Quoted from Rafinesque’s Specchio delle Scienze, I, 101, 1815. This is evi¬ dently a slip for Nemochirus Raf. Nemotherus (Risso) Costa is a syno¬ nym of Trachypterus. Nemochirus seems to be an ally of Stylepfiorus, as yet unrecognized.
Omichthys Swainson, II, 262; logotype Trigla punctata Bloch. A synonym of Prionotus Lac.
Pteroleptus Swainson, II, 264; haplotype Pteroleptus longicauda Sw., (Kodipungi Russell). A synonym of Pterois Cuv.
Macrochyrus Swainson, II, 264; haplotype Scorp^ena miles Bennett. A synonym of Pterois Cuv.
Brachyrus Swainson, II, 264; logotype Pterois zebra Cuv. & Val. A synonym of Dendrochirus Sw., not Brachyochirus Nardo. Name spelled Brachirus when first used, page 71.
Pteropterus Swainson, II, 264; haplotype Pterois radiatus Cuv. & Val.
Platypterus Swainson, II, 265 ; logotype T^enionotus latovittatus Lac. Name preoccupied; replaced by Tetraroge Gthr., 1860.
Pterichthys Swainson, II, 265 ; logotype Scorpzena carinata Bl. & Schn. A syn¬ onym of Apistus Cuv., to be used if that name is regarded as preoccupied by Apistes, etc.; not Pterichtpius Commerson (1803), nor Pterichthys Ag.
Gymnapistes Swainson, II, 265; logotype Apistus marmoratus Cuv. & Val. Re¬ places Pentaroge Gthr.
Synanchia (“Cuvier”) Swainson, 268; a variant of Synanceja: (S. erosa).
Bufichthys Swainson, II, 268; logotype Scorp^na horrida L. which is also type of Synancidium Muller, 1844. Where Bufichthys is first mentioned on page 180 it has the definition still earlier assigned to Erosa and here given to “Synanchia”. Gill therefore regards it as a synonym of Erosa Sw., rather than as equivalent of Synancidium Muller.
Trachicephalus Swainson, II, 268; haplotype Synanceia elongata Cuv. & Val. Preoccupied by Trachycephalus, 1838, a genus of reptiles. Replaced by Polycaulus Gthr.

Enophrys Swainson, II, 271 ; haplotype Cottus claviger Cuv. & Val.
Gymnocanthus Swainson, II, 271 ; haplotype Cottus ventralis Cuv. & Val. Re¬ places Phobetor Kroyer, 1844, and Elaphocottus Sauvage. This name should read Gymnacanthus. There seems to be no classical warrant for Swainson’s persistent use of “Canthus” (xtwpog, a donkey) to mean spine (cbcavfra).
Canthirhynchus Swainson, II, 272; haplotype Cottus monopterygius Bloch. A synonym of A spidoph oroides Lac. (1802).
Hippocephalus Swainson, II, 272; logotype Agonus superciliosus Pallas, as restricted by Gill, 1861. A synonym of Percis Scopoli (1777), not Percis of Klein, nor of Cuvier.

Amphichthys Swainson, II, 282 ; haplotype Batrachus rubigenes Sw., from Pernambuco. This fish is said to have but one dorsal fin and no teeth on the palate. It is undoubtedly based on Batrachus cryptocentrus Cuv. & Val. It therefore replaces Marcgravia Jordan (1886) as also the substitute name, Marcgravichthys Ribeiro.
Salmophasia Swainson, II, 284; logotype Cyprinus bacalla Ham. (S. oblonga Sw.). Called Salmostoma on page 184. A synonym of Salmostoma, which replaces Securicula Gthr. 1868).

im of Ilisha Gray, 1846.
296 (misprinted Cypsilurus) ; logotype Exoccetus = Exoccetus furcatus Mitchill. Based on a young at the chin. In view of Swainson’ s general carelessness :y of his proof-reading, the form Cypsilurus has been sprint by the International Communion of Nomenclature, s Miilier, 1843.

Zenodon (Riippell) Swainson, II, 194, 325; orthotype Balistes Niger Lac. This name Zenodon, being ascribed to Riippell, is probably a careless misprint of Xenodon Riippell. Preoccupied in reptiles by Xenodon Boie, 1827. The name is spelled Zenodon on page 194 also. Zenodon is, however, accepted by Fowler (1904). If adopted, it replaces Odonus Gistel (1848), Erythrodon Riippell (1852) and Pyrodon Kaup (1855) — all substitutes offered for Xenodon.
Chalisoma Swainson, II, 325; logotype Balistes pulcherrimus Lesson = Balistes vetula L. A synonym of Balistes L.

Leisomus Swainson, II, 328; logotype L. marmoratus Sw. = Tetraodon cutcutia Ham., as restricted by Blekeer, 1865. The genus is called Leiodon on page 194, without mention of type. Leisomus is preoccupied. Leiodon replaces Monotreta Bibron. Swain restricts Leisomus and therefore Leiodon, to the first species' named, L. l^evissimus Sw., a species of Spheroides (Tetraodon spengleri Bloch).
Lagocephalus Swainson, II, 328 ; logotype Tetraodon stellatus Donovan. Re¬ places Gastrophysus Muller.

Ophisoma Swainson, II, 334; logotype O. acuta Sw., as restricted by Bleeker (1864). Swain, in 1882, chose O. obtusa Sw. as type. The latter species is a Conger, the former belongs to Congermur^ena Kaup, as restricted. The name is preoccupied by Ophisomus Sw., page 277. It is called Ariosoma on page 194. Ariosoma thus replaces Congermur^ena Kaup, and also Con- grellus Ogilby, all based on the same type, earlier described as Mur^ena balearica De la Roche.
Pterurus Swainson, II, 334, logotype Pterurus maculatus Sw. — MuryENA raitoborua Ham. A synonym of Raitaboura Gray (1831) or Moringua Gray (1831).

Cgenraad Jacob Temminck (1770-1858) ; Hermann Schlegel (1804-1884).
Temminck and Schlegel gave no specific names when but one species oc¬ curred in the genus. The names of type species have been given by subse¬ quent writers.
Perca-Labrax Temminck & Schlegel, 2; orthotype Labrax japonicus Cuv. & Val. Name rejected by Bleeker ,and by Boulenger because no new genus was intended, Labrax being merely entered as a subgenus of Perca. Replaced by Lateola- brax Blkr. But an argument can be made for the retention of Percalabrax.

Orthacanthus Agassiz, III, pi. 45; orthotype O. cylindricus Ag. (fossil). Regarded by Woodward as a synonym of Pleuracanthus Ag., which preoccupied name it may replace.
Pleurodus Agassiz, III, 174; orthotype P. rankinei Ag. (fossil). No definition until accepted by Hancock and Althey, 1872. Regarded as preoccupied by Pleurodon (1840), replaced by Pleuroplax Woodw., 1889.

Cladodus Agassiz, III, 196; logotype C. mirabilis Ag. (fossil).
Sphenonchus Agassiz, III, 201; logotype S. elongatus Ag. (fossil). A synonym, as restricted, of Acrodus Ag.
Diplodus Agassiz, III, 204; logotype D. gibbosus Ag. (fossil). Regarded by Wood¬ ward as a synonym of Pleuracanthus Ag. Both names are preoccupied. Diplodus has been replaced by Didymodus Cope (1883), which is also preoccupied (as Didymodon Blake, 1863, a mammal) and again replaced by Dicranodus Garman (1885). Orthacanthus Ag. may replace Pleuracan¬ thus, and some of the names given by Owen, as Dittodus, have priority over Dicranodus. It is not yet certain that the teeth called Diplodus and the spines called Orthacanthus belong to the same fish.

the genus Oprichthus of Ahl. Mur^na ophis Bloch is probably the same and M. ophis Lac. seems to be drawn from the same material. The figure of Lacepede is the sole basis of Cuvier’s Muilena maculosa. All these accounts seem to refer to the fish called Ophichthus havannensis (Bl. & Schn.). The maculosus of Kaup and Gunther is a different fish, a species of Myrichthys. McClelland places “Ophisurus ophis Lac.” first among his species of Ophithorax. We therefore take it as his type, although his description is rather dubious. “Dorsal fin broad, anal narrow ; body and dorsal covered with large round spots. Pectoral fin very minute. Seas of Europe.” The genus is defined : “Pectoral fins very small so as to be scarcely perceptible.” It is possible that this description applies to the species called Ophichthys maculosus by Gunther (not by Cuvier). This is a species of Myrichthys, thus far without tenable name. Using Gunther’s description of Ophichthys maculosus as the type, the species may be named Myrich¬ thys guntheri Jordan. It seems best to regard Ophithorax as a synonym of Ophichthys Ahl, rather than to substitute it on doubtful grounds for Myrichthys or for Chlevastes (colubrinus).

385. GISTEL (1848). Naturgeschichte des Thierreichs fur hohere Schulen.
\ Johannes Gistel.
A remarkable dull and confused publication, not hitherto noticed by ichthyologists. Gistel speaks feelingly of his “hochst miihsamer Ver- gleichung, zeitraubenden Nachschlagens, in vielen hundert Werken, etc., aus meinen Manuscripten aufzufiihren”. It is not often that so fatiguing a piece of work presents itself in such a crabbed form. Gistel insists that personal names of genera are allowable only in Botany and in the lowest classes of animals (“den niedrigsten Thierklassen”)-
The following may replace names actually preoccupied :
Abron instead of Platystoma.
234 THE GENERA OF FISHES, PART II
Dapalis instead of Smerdis.
Enixe instead of Drepane.
Hypodytes instead of Paracentropogon.
Notacmon instead of Eurynotus.
Odonus instead of Xenodon (Erythrodon).
Periurgus instead of Microps.
Proscinetes instead of Microdon.
Secutor instead of Deveximentum.
Strephon instead of Brontes.
Strotes instead of Platysomus.
The following are also admissible if a name differing in gender or slightly in form but from the same roots as an earlier name is to be rejected as preoccupied :
Analithis instead of Platyrhina.
Alazon instead of Pcecilia.
Englottogaster instead of Oreinus.
Furo instead of Eugnathus.
Myrmillo instead of Mustelus.
Prenes instead of Scatophagus.
Rhadamista instead of Ctenodus.
Scropha instead of Ceratodus.
Pedites instead of Macropodus.
The twice preoccupied name of Undina Gistel, IX, is offered as a sub¬ stitute for Linkia Nardo, said to be a fish, Linkia typus Nardo, preoccupied by Linckia Ag., a genus of Echinoderms, for which he offers the substitute name of Catantes. But both Linkias are starfishes and neither a fish. Another generic name, Phygas Gistel, X, is proposed in place of Polia (Della Chiaje, Isis , 1832, 647, Sceena), said to be preoccupied in worms, by Polia Grube, which genus Gistel renames Cyryx, But I am informed by Mr. Bean that Polia sipunculus Della Chiaje is itself a worm also, not a fish.
Carcharias Gistel, VIII ; type Squalus acanthias L. ; substitute for Acanthias Risso, regarded as- preoccupied by Acanthia. Carcharias was already twice preoccupied. A synonym of Squalus L., as restricted.
Pelonectes Gistel, VIII; type (Acanthoessus bronni Ag.). Substitute for Acanthodes Ag. (1833), wrongly said to be preoccupied in Crustacea (Ser- ville, 1835). A synonym of Acanthoessus Ag. (1832).
Gremilla Gistel, VIII; type (Perca cernua L.). A substitute for Acerina Cuv. ; but Cernua Schafer and Acerina Giildenstadt, as well as Gymnocephalus Bloch & Schneider are still older than Gremilla.
Adiapneustes Gistel, VIII; type (Acrodus gaillardoti Ag.). A substitute for Acrodus Ag. (1838), wrongly regarded as preoccupied by Acrodon Zimmer- mann (1840).
Histiodromus Gistel, VIII; type (Salmo anostomus L.). Name a substitute for Anastomus Gronow, Scopoli, Cuvier. All these writers have priority over Anastomus Uliger (1835), a genus of birds. The name has often been written Anostomus.
Nomalus Gistel, VIII; type Lonchurus ancylodon Bl. & Schn. (A jaculidens Cuv. & Val.) Substitute for Ancylodon, preoccupied. A synonym of Macrodon Schinz (1822).
GISTEL, 1848
235
Hypodytes Gistel, VIII ; orthotype “Aspistes Q. & G.”, which is Apistus longis- pinis Cuv. & Val. The name is a substitute for Apistes (“Aspistes”) regarded as preoccupied.
As the species of Quoy & Gaimard (1834) (longispinis) is the type of Paracentropogon Blkr., Hypodytes may supersede that name, rather than replace it by Prosopodasys Cantor (1849). Gistel offers Hypodytes as a substitute for “Aspistes Quoy, Astrolabe Fische,>> although Apistes occurs in the Regne Animal, 1829 (Index), and Apistus in Cuv. & Val., IV, also in 1829, in the latter part of the same year. As Hypodytes is expressly used to replace Aspistus (not Aspistes) of Quoy & Gaimard and as the chief species figured by those authors is A. longispinis, the type of the later genus Paracentropogon, Hypodytes may replace the latter, if Apistes or Apistus is deemed occupied.
Scrofaria Giestel, VIII ; orthotype Ausonia cuvieri Risso. Name an unexplained substitute for Ausonia ; a synonym of Luvarus Raf.
Gliscus Gistel, VIII; type (Blochius longirostris Volta) (fossil). A substitute for Blochius, a personal name.
Strephon Gistel, VIII; orthotype (Brontes prenadilla (Cuv. & Val.). A sub¬ stitute for Brontes Cuv. & Val. several times preocupied.
Thalassoklephtes Gistel, VIII; orthotype (Caninoa chiereghini Nardo). A substitute for Caninoa Nardo, as a genus unworthy of a prince : “1st denn der Prinz von Canino mit einem Hayen vergleichbar ?”
Scropha Gistel, VIII; type (Ceratodus latissimus Ag.) (fossil). A substitute for Ceratodus, regarded as preoccupied by Ceratodon Brisson.
Capellaria Gistel, VIII; type (Lophius commersonianus Lac.). Substitute for Chironectes Cuv., preoccupied. A synonym of Antennarius Cuv.
Caeso Gistel, VIII; type (Sparus berda Forskal). A substitute for “Chrysopeirys RiippeH” (berda). A synonym of Sparus L. as understood by me.
Cerdo Gistel, VIII; type (Gadus callarias L.) as here restricted. Cerdo is offered as a substitute for “Asellus Klein.” But Klein does not accept Asellus as a generic name, but discusses its application to various cod-like fishes. He refers to “Cerdones” in a discussion of dried codfish. We may therefore regard Cerdo Gistel as a synonym of Gadus L.
Echemythes Gistel, VIII; type (Zeus luna Gmelin). A substitute for Chryso- tosus Lac. A synonym of Lampris.
Ronchifex Gistel, VIII; type (Harpe rufa Lac.), substitute for Cossyphus Cuv., preoccupied; Bodianus Bloch and Harpe Lac. are names still older for the same genus.
Rhadamisita Gistel, VIII; type (Ctenodus cristatus Ag. (fossil). A substitute for Ctenodus Ag. (1838) regarded as preoccupied by Ctenodon Wagner (1830).
Pirene Gistel, IX; type (Ch^etodon aruanus L.). Substitute for Dascylius; preoccupied as Dascillus ; Pirene is itself preoccupied and gives way to Tetradrachmum Cantor, 1849.
Enixe Gistel, IX; type Ch^jtodon punctatus L.). A substitute for Drepane Cuv., regarded as preoccupied by Drepane or Drepana Schranck. It has priority over Harpochirus Cantor (1849).
Secutor Gistel, IX; orthotype Sparus insidiator (Bloch). A substitute for Equula Cuv., but with a different type. Has priority over Deveximentum Fowler, if this subgenus is distinct from Leiognathus Lac.
236
THE GENERA OF FISHES, PART II
Furo Gistel, IX; type (Eugnathus orthostomus A g. fossil). Substitute for Eugnathus Ag. regarded as preoccupied by Eugnatha, a genus of spiders.
Notacmon Gistel, IX; type (Eurynotus crenatus Ag. fossil). Substitute for Eurynotus Ag., preoccupied by a genus of beetles (Kirby, 1817).
Podager Gistel, IX; logotype Gerres waigiensis Q. & G. Name a substitute for Gerres, regarded as preoccupied by Gerris Fabricius, a genus of insects. But Podager is itself preoccupied in birds, and if a new name is needed, it must give place to Catoch^num Cantor (1849). But the root words, Gerris and Gerres, are different.
Synergus Gistel, IX; orthotype (Megalurus lepidotus Ag. fossil). A substitute for Megalurus Ag. preoccupied in mammals, but Synergus is preoccupied also by Synergus Hartig, 1840, a genus of Hymenoptera, and Megalurus may be replaced by Urocles Jordan as already indicated.
Ellops Gistel, IX, type (Acipenser helops Pallas). A substitute for Helops, being the original Greek form.
Apeches Gistel, IX; logotype Johnius, carutta Bl. & Schn. A substitute for Johnius, a name regarded as objectionable. In general Gistel offers a sub¬ stitute for all personal names everywhere except among plants and the lowest animals.
Neanis Gistel, IX; type (Labrus julis L.). Name a substitute for Julis Cuv., regarded as preoccupied by Julus L., a genus of myriapods. But the two names are of entirely distinct origin.
Exoles Gistel, IX; type (Squalus nasus Bonnaterre). A substitute for Lamia Bon., itself a synonym of Lamna Cuv.
Apepton Gistel, IX ; orthotype Lepadogaster piger Nardo. A needless synonym of Gouania Nardo, a personal name.
Anepistomon Gistel, IX; type (Leptorynchus capensis Smith). A substitute for Leptorhynchus Smith, preoccupied. A synonym of Ophisurus, as restricted.
Spanius Gistel, IX; type (Leptosoma atra Nardo). Name a substitute for Lepto- soma, preoccupied ; probably a synonym of Monochirus Raf. “Soglio bastardo”.
Encrotes Gistel, IX; type Cyprinodon variegatus Lac. A substitute for Lebia or Lebias Cuv. on account of the name Lebia Latreille, 1802, an earlier name wrongly attributed to Bonaparte. But Lebia Cuv. (later written Lebias) is a synonym of Cyprinodon Lac.
Maina Gitsel, IX; type (Sparus chcerorhynchus Bl. & Schn.). Name a substitute for Lethrinus Cuv. unreasonably regarded as preoccupied by Lethrus Fabricius, a genus of beetles.
Massaria Gistel, IX ; type Cyclopterus liparis L. A needless substitute for Liparis, used in Botany.
Pedites Gistel, IX (Macropodus viridiauratus Lac.). Name a substitute for Macropodus Lac. corrected by Gunther as Macropus, in that form preoccu¬ pied by Macropus Thunberg, a genus of beetles. Perhaps to be adopted as the roots are the same and Macropodus an incorrect form.
Paschalestes Gistel, IX ; type (Macquaria australasica Cuv. & Val. Substitute for Macquaria Cuv. & Val., rejected, as a personal name.
Englottogaster Gistel, IX ; type Oreinus guttatus McCl. Substitute for Oreinus McCl., regarded as preoccupied in beetles as Oreina. But the generic value of Oreinus is doubtful.
GISTEL, 1848
237
Proscinetes Gistel, X; type Microdon elegans Ag. (fossil). Substitute for Microdon Ag., preoccupied; replaces Polypsephis Hay, 1899, which is also a substitute for Microdon.
Periergus Gistel, X; type Microps furcatus Ag. (fossil). A substitute for Microps Ag., preoccupied in beetles.
Arnion Gistel, X; type (Mugil cephalus L.). A substitute for Mugil L. for no assigned reason.
Myrmillo Gistel, X; orthotype Mustelus vulgaris. A substitute for Mustelus Cuv., regarded as preoccupied by Mustela L. Same as Pleuracromylon Gill.
Analithis Gistel, X; orthotype Platyrhina sinensis (Bl. & Schn.). Substitute for Platyrhina M. & H., regarded as preoccupied by Platyrhinus, replaced by Discobatus Garman (1881).
Strotes Gistel, X; ,type (Stromateus gibbosus Blainv.). Name a substitute for Platysomus Ag. preoccupied by a genus of beetles.
Abron Gistel, X; orthotype Silurus lima Ag. A substitute for Platystoma Ag., 1829, preoccupied in insects.
Plectrostoma Gistel, X; type Oxyrhina mantelli Ag. (fossil). Substitute for Oxyrhina Ag., preoccupied. A synonym of Isurus Raf.
Euporista Gistel, X ; type Pleuronectes plagiusa L. A substitute for Plagusia Bon., preoccupied ; a synonym of Symphurus Raf.
Deportator Gistel, X; type (Silurus anguillaris Forskal). Name a substitute for Plotosus Lac., needlessly regarded as preoccupied by Plotus L.
Alazon Gistel, X; orthotype (Pcecilia vivipara). A substitute for Pcecilia Cuv. & Val., regarded as preoccupied by Pcecilus Bon., a beetle.
Apodometes Gistel, X; type (Psammodus rugosus Ag., fossil). A substitute for Psammodus Ag. regarded as preoccupied by Psammodius, a genus of beetles, but the words are not from the same roots.
Demiurga Gistel, X; type (Rhina ancylostoma Bl. & Schn.). A substitute for Rhina Bon., etc., regarded as preoccupied by Rhina Olivier (1807), a genus of beetles. But this genus of rays was called Rhina in 1801, by Bloch & Schneider. The same name was used by non-Linnsean writers in place of Squatina. For this purpose it was first binomially used in 1810. If Rhina is used for Squatina, Demiurga could replace it for this genus, instead of Rhamphobatis Gill (1861).
Prenes Gistel, X; type (Ch^etodon argus Bloch). Name a substitute for Sca- tophagus Cuv., regarded as preoccupied by Scatophaga. Has priority over Cacodoxus Cantor, 1849.
Agoreion Gistel, X; type Acanthoderma spinosum Ag. (fossil). Name a sub¬ stitute for “Scleroderma Ag.”, used in fungi, also as Sclerodermus in bees, but I find no Scleroderma in Agassiz. It was probably the preoccupied name, Acanthoderma Ag., which Gistel had in mind ; for this Agoreion may perhaps be substituted.
Creotroctes Gistel, X; type Scomber sarda L. Name an unexplained substitute for Sarda Cuv. It is a synonym of Palamita Bon., offered in 1832 as a substitute for Pelamys Cuv. & Val., 1831, which is the same as Sarda Cuv., 1829.
Denius Gistel, X; type (Sparus sargus L.). Name a substitute for Sargus Cuv., preoccupied. A synonym of Diplodus Raf.
Borborodes Gistel, X; type (Squalus lichia Cuv., Squalus lichia Bonnaterre). Substitute for Scymnus Cuv., preoccupied in beetles. A synonym of Scym- norhinus Bon., 1846.
238
THE GENERA OF FISHES, PART II
Dapalis Gistel, XI; type (Perca minuta Blainv.) (fossil). Name a substitute for Smerdis A g., 1833, preoccupied by Smerdis Leach, a genus of beetles.
Peroptera Gistel, XI ; said to be a fish and substituted for Perioptera Gistel, “deleatur”. I find no reference elsewhere to either name.
Orthocolus Gistel XI; type Salmo thymallus L. Substitute for Thymallus Cuv., regarded as preoccupied by Thymallus Latr., 1803, a genus of beetles. But the root word is different. In any event, Choregon Minding has priority
Trompe Gistel, XI, 109; type (Sclena jaculatrix Pallas). Name an unexplained substitute for Toxotes Cuv.
Aphobus Gistel, XI; type (Trachidermis fasciatus Heckel). Name a substi¬ tute for Trachidermis Heckel preoccupied as Trachyderma, etc., a synonym of Centridermichthys Rich., 1844.
Chaetichthys Gistel, XI; type (Trachinus trichodon Steller)* Name a substitute for Trichodon Cuv., deemed preoccupied by Trichoda and Trichodes, but the root meaning is different.
Lithulcus Gistel, XI; type (Trichopodus mentum Lac.). Substitute for Tricho- podus (Trichopus) (Lac.) Cuv. & Val. ; used also in botany. The oldest use of the name in Zoology is that of Lacepede, 1802 (III, 125), a genus of fishes already called (116) Osphronemus by the same author.
Odonus Gistel, XI; type (Balistes niger Lac.). A substitute for Xenodon Riip- pell, preoccupied. Odonus is prior to Erythrodon Ruppell, 1852, and to Pyrodon Kaup. If Zenodon Sw. (1839) is regarded as eligible, not as a mere misprint, it will be preferred to Odonus.
Eudynama Gistel, XIII, 108; orthotype (Sparus aurata L.). A substitute for Chrysophrys Cuv. A synonym of Sparus L. as restricted.
Eupnoea Gistel, 105; orthotype Plagiusa lactea Bon. (Symphurus nigrescens Raf.). A synonym of Symphurus Raf.
Melantha Gistel, 109; orthotype Sclena nigra Gmelin, “die Seekrahe”. A need¬ less synonym of Corvina Cuv.
Attilus Gistel, 109; orthotype Sclena (cirrhosa L.), “der Schattenfisch”. A needless synonym of Umbrina Cuv.

Apogonoides Bleeker, III, 70; orthotype A. macassariensis Blkr. This forgotten genus is based on a species without teeth on the plate ; with the preopercle entire, no opercular spines: D .VI-1, 9; caudal bilobed. Apogonoides seems to differ from the later Apogonichthys only in the presence of 6, not 7, dorsal spines and in the bilobed caudal.
Amblygaster Bleeker, 70 ; orthotype A. clupeoides Blkr. A synonym of Sardinella Cuv. & Val. The true sardines (Sardinia Poey) are well distinguished from Sardinella externally by the strong concentric grooves on the opercles.

Prosopodasys Cantor, 44; orthotype Apistus alatus Cuv. A substitute for Apistus Cuv., regarded as preoccupied by Apista, hence must retain the same type. Pterichthys Sw., 1839, has priority over Prosopadasys.
Corythobatus Cantor, 45 ; orthotype Apistus minous Cuv. & Val. = Minous moora Cuv. & Val. Substitute for Minous, regarded as preocupied by Minoes.

Culter Basilewski, 236; logotype C. alburnus Basilewski, as restricted by Bleeker and Gunther. Under the head of Culter Basilewski mentions especially (Cyprinus cultratus L.) the type of Pelecus Ag., although he does not exactly specify this as type. He then proceeds to describe certain Chinese species. For some of these the name Culter has been kept, although Basilewski plainly intended to make his type Cyprinus cultratus, in which case Culter would be a synonym of Pelecus. At present we follow the authority of Bleeker and Gunther.

Its surface below, except at the smooth base, is covered by small stel¬ late prickles, curved backward at tip. Larger spinules cover the head with six still larger ones forming a curve around the eye. As this form, obvi¬ ously distinct, is without a name, it has been called Tarsistes philippi Jordan.
