TILESIUS, 1820 113 



Teretulus Rafinesque, 57; type Catostomus aureolus Le Sueur. 

 As fixed by Jordan, 1877. 



Decactylus Rafinesque, 60; type Catostomus bostoniensis Le Sueur 

 (Cyprinus teres Mitchill) as restricted by Jordan. 

 Catostomus teres is probably the tenable name, as the earlier name com- 

 MERSONi Lacepede is very doubtful. 



Ictalurus Rafinesque, 61 ; type Silurus punctatus Raf. 



Elliops Rafinesque, 62 ; type Pimelodus maculatus Raf. 

 A synonym of Ictalurus. 



Eurystomus Rafinesque, 65 ; type Catostomus megastomus Raf. 

 An Audubonian myth. 



Sterletus Rafinesque, 80; type Acipenser serotinus Raf. (Acipenser 

 rubicundus Le Sueur). 



Dinectus Rafinesque, 80 ; type Dinectus truncatus Raf. 



Another of Audubon's mythical paintings, representing, as suggested by Rafin 

 esque, "only a sturgeon incorrectly drawn." 



Pegedictis Rafinesque, 85 ; type Pegedictis ictalops Raf. 



Apparently a confusion of notes on Catonotus flabellaris and Cottus rich 

 ARDSONi. The species is therefore unidentifiable. Best regarded as a synonym oi 



CoTTUS. 



Proceros Rafinesque, 87; type Proceros maculatus Raf. 

 A myth, not of Audubon but of "Mr. M. of St. Genevieve."
