40 THE GENERA OF FISHES 



Rhinobatus Klein, II, 593, 1776; type Raja rhinobatus L. "Rhino- 

 BATUS SEU Squatino raja" Klein. 

 Rhinobatus would replace Rhinobatus Bloch & Schneider, 1801, and 

 Syrrhina Miiller & Henle, based on the same species. 



Solea Klein, III, 115, 1776; type Pleuronectes solea L. "Solea 

 SQUAMIS MINUTIS" Klein. 

 Solea Klein would replace Solea Rafinesque, Solea Quensel and Solea Cuvier. 



Pseudopterus Klein, III, 139, 1776; type Gasterosteus volitans L. 

 "PsEUDOPTERus QUI Perca amboinensis" Klein. 

 Replaces, if allowed, Pterois Cuvier. 

 Tetragonoptrus Klein, III, 153, 1776; type Ch^todon capistratus L. 

 "Tetragonoptrus l^vis ad caudam brunnea" Klein. 

 Synonym of Ch^todon L. Bleaker uses this name in place of Ch^todon, as 

 Artedi's "type" of Ch^todon — that is, the species first named — is a Pomacanthus. 

 But Artedi included also true species of Ch^todon in his list, and the name was 

 adopted by Linnsus from his own use of it, in the Amoenitates Acadenticicr. 



Batrachus Klein, III, 202, 1776; type Lophius piscatorius L. "Ba- 



TRACHUS RICTUQUE RAN^" Klein. 

 Synonym of Lophius L., not Batrachus Bloch & Schneider, 1801. 



Mastaccembelus Klein, III, 271, 1776; type Esox belone L. "Mas- 



TACCEMBELUS MANDIBULIS LONGISSIMIS" Klein. 

 Not Mastacembelus Gronow, 1763 ; stands as Belone Cuvier. 



Platiglossus Klein, III, 300, 1776; type Halichceres marginatus 

 Rijppell. "Platiglossus subrufus souamulis l^vibus" Klein.

 nizable. 



Lucius Klein, III, 506, 1776; type Esox lucius L. "Lucius . . . ros- 

 TRO quasi anserino" Klein. 

 Synonym of Esox L. = Lucius Rafinesque. 



Cestracion Klein, III, 523, 1776; type Squalus zyg^na L. "Cestra- 

 ciON fronte acus" Klein. 

 Cestracion, if accepted, replaces Sphyrna Rafinesque and Zycena Cuvier. 

 Cestracion Cuvier is a different genus, Heterodontus Blainville, Centracion Gray.

CHIDION CORPORE OBLONGO" Klein.
