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.

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.

Orbis, page 141 ; “are perfectly valid,” that is, properly presented as generic
names. Acus is a synonym of Syngnathus L., Orbis of Diodon L.

Ichthyocolla Geoffroy, 399; haplotype Acipenser huso L. This replaces Huso
Brandt, and Sterletus Raf. Mr. Sherborn informs me that the generic
names used by Geoffroy are “perfectly valid” for purposes of nomenclature.
These are :

Ichthyocolla, 399, (Huso Brandt).

Harengus, 405, (Clupea L.).

20. KLEIN (1775). Neuer Schauplatz, etc.

Jakob Theodor Klein (1685-1759).

Prochilus Klein, I, 1043; Amphiprion ephippium Bloch, as restricted by Bleeker,
1877 (P. ovat^e figure macula fusca magna Klein). This name, if deemed
eligible from the date of the Schauplatz would replace Amphiprion Bl. & Schn.,
instead of Pholis Cuv. & Val. (Ltpophrys Gill), as suggested in part I
of this work.

Gymnothorax Bloch IX, 83, 1795; type as first restricted (Bleeker, 1864) G. reticu¬
laris Bloch. Although originally virtually a substitute name for Murena
L., the first fixation of types separates the two. Gymnothorax thus replaces
Lycodontis McCl.

Giovanni Serafino Volta.

Monopteros Volta, CXCL; orthotype M. gigas Volta (fossil). Replaces Pla-

to Fluta Bl. & Schn. (1801).

1801

55. BLOCH & SCHNEIDER (1801). Systema Ichthyologies.

Mark Elieser Bloch; Johann Gottlob Schneider (1750-1822).

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) .

1803

56. LACEPEDE (1803). Histoire naturelle des poissons. IV, V.

Bernard Germain Lacepede (1756-1825).

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.

1804

56A. LACEPEDE (1804). Memoires sur plusieurs animaux de la Nouvelle

Bernard Germain Lacepede.

Prionurus Lacepede, IV, 211 ; orthotype P. microlepidotus Lac.

Platypodus Lacepede, IV, 211; orthotype P. furca Lac.

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.

Acinacea Bory de St. Vincent, I, 93; orthotype A. noth a Bory (Tacinacee
batarde”). An ally of Thyrsites Cuv., overlooked by authors. It differs
from Thyrsites (atun), if correctly described and figured, iir the presence
of twenty-nine spines in the dorsal fin, instead of twenty. The type specimen
was from the open sea, off Africa. If identical with Thyrsites, Acinacea
has priority. The Latin form as well as the French is given by the author.

Ramphistoma by Swainson, who adopts the name. Is apparently not eligible
in place of Belone Cuv., 1817, though an argument might be made for its
acceptance, as we know the type intended and there are a few words of inac¬

name spelled Hydrocyon. Also in Cuv. & Val., XXII, 509, 1849. The name was
afterwards restricted to H. lucius Cuv., a species of Xiphostoma, Ag., but
the first adjustment must stand. The name is Hydrocynus and the genus
contains no American species.

Bodianus Cuvier, Regne Animal, II, 276 ; logotype Bodianus guttatus Bloch; (not
Bodianus of Bloch) which by tautonomy goes with Bodianus bodianus
Bloch, and replaces Harpe Lac. Gill restricts Bodianus {Proc. Acad. Nat.
Sci. Phil., 1862, 237) to B. guttatus Bloch, a species of Cephalopholis Bl. &
Schn. By the rule of tautonomy, under present rules Bodianus must stand

indicated by Swainson and by Swain (1882) carries the complex genus
Chanda with it. This antedates Fowler’s choice (1902) of Chanda lala as
type. C. nama is type of Bogoda Blkr. Chanda should therefore replace
Bogoda.

be replaced by Pterichthys Sw., 1839, unless that is regarded as invalid,
from the non-binomial Pterichthus of Commerson (1803), which is
Exoccetus. 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. . . . Apistes trachinoides Cuv. &

Val. used by Gunther as type of Prosopodasys is not eligible for that purpose,

187

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.

ably 1837). Replaces Crossorhinus M. & H.

Microstoma Cuv. (1817).

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.

todon maculatus Bloch. Equivalent to Paretroplus Blkr. A synonym of
Etroplus Cuv. & Val. as restricted.

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.

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.

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.

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.

places Anema 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.

Chirolophis Swainson, II, 275 ; haplotype Blennius yarrelli Cuv. & Val. = Blen-
nius ascanii Walbaum. Replaces Blenniops Nilsson (1855) and Carelophus

nym of Salarias Cuv.

Rupiscartes Swainson, II, 275; haplotype Salarias alticus Cuv. & Val. = Blen¬
nius tridactylus Bl. & Schn. Equivalent to Alticus Commerson, but the
latter may not be eligible

onym of Alticus or Rupiscartes.

Blennophis Swainson, II, 276; logotype Clinus anguillaris Cuv. & Val., not
Blennophis Val. (1844), which is Ophioblennius Gill.

Labrisomus Swainson, II, 277; logotype Clinus pectinifer Cuv. & Val. Often
written Labrosomus; replaces Lepisoma Dekay, 1842.

Gill, 1863.

Ruppellia (misprinted Rupellia) Swainson, II, 281 ; orthotype Gobius echino-
cephalus Riippell. Preoccupied, replaced by Paragobiodon Blkr. (1879).

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).

by Trichosomus Sw., 265; and by Trichosoma Rudolphi (1819), a genus of
worms. Equivalent to Thrissa Cuv. (1817), not of Rafinesque (1815) ;
replaced by Thrissocles Jordan (1917).

Sw.). Replaces Telara Gthr. (1868).

296 (misprinted Cypsilurus) ; logotype Exoccetus

:y of his proof-reading, the form Cypsilurus has been
sprint by the International Communion of Nomenclature,
s Miilier, 1843.

A synonym of Nemacheilus Van Hasselt; spelled Acourus on an earlier
page.

isTes aculeatus L. A synonym of Balistapus Tilesius.

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

Cheilichthys Muller, a synonym of Spheroides Dum.

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.

Amanses Gray (1833).

Psilonotus Swainson, II, 328; logotype Tetraodon rostratus Bloch. Called Can-
thigaster on page 194, and therefore a synonym of the latter.

Solenognathus by Gunther.

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

Pristiurus in Saggio, p. 121, 1831, and in Fauna Italica. Called Pristidurus

an error. Troschel writes, “Gon. powerle” for Gonostoma. This was doubt¬
less mistaken for “Gen.”

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.

Aulacocephalus Temminck & Schlegel, 15; orthotype A. temmincki Blkr.

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.

Cladacanthus Agassiz, III, 176; orthotype C. paradoxus Ag. (fossil); name only,
defined first by Davis. Trans. Roy. Dublin Soc., I, 1883, 365. A synonym of
Erismacanthus.

Cricacanthus Agassiz, III, 176; orthotype C. jonisi Ag. Name only, hence having
no place in the system.

Gyropristis Agassiz, III, 177 ; orthotype G. obliquus Ag. Name only, hence with¬
out place in the system.

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.

MEYER & PLIENINGER, 1844

221

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).

\ 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.

Dipterygonotus Bleeker, 70; orthotype D. leucogrammicus Blkr. An ally or

flat snout, rounded at the tip apparently like that of the shark, Mitsuku-
rina. 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

Gthr. or H. lobocheilus Gthr. species in which the male has both lips
greatly enlarged, “peculiar in not having the ordinary fleshy lips, but a
large, triangular lobe projecting above and below jaw like the fleshy appen¬
dages of some bats” (Agassiz). It is possible that the species thus provided
should stand as a distinct genus Amphilophus.

OMISSIONS IN PART II.

As these pages go through the press the following errors and omissions are noted :

On page 173, Bennett’s Fishes of Mauritius, No. 143A, is in two parts, both in
1831, not 1830. The first is the collection of Captain Belcher (November), the
second that of Charles Telfair (December).

Insert —
