KLEIN, 1775 39 



Sargus Klein, I, 966, 1775; type Sparus sargus L. "Sargus pinnis 

 vENTRALiBus" Klein. 

 Sargus, if allowed, replaces Diplodus Rafinesque, and Sargus Cuvier. The 

 genus of Insects called Sargus would in this case require a new name. 



Dasybatus Klein, I, 991, 1775; type Raja pastinaca L. "Dasybatus 

 CAUDA SQUAMEis ossEis" Klein. 

 Dasybatus, if allowed, replaces Dasyatis Rafinesque and Trygon Adanson. 

 Intended to include all the rough-skinned rays. 



Prochilus Klein, I, 1043, 1775; type, as here restricted, "Prochilus 



L^VIS LATERIBUS CARINATUS" Klein (BlENNIUS PHOLIS L.). 



Equivalent to Pholis Cuv. & Val., a name used earlier for another genus by 

 Gronow and Scopoli. In this sense Prochilus is a subgenus under Blennius. . . 



On plates in Bleeker's Atlas, Prochilus is used instead of Amphiprion, the 

 species named first by Klein being Amphiprion ephippium (Bloch). We find, 

 however, no formal restriction of Prochilus by Bleeker. 



Labrax Klein, II, 32, 1775, and VIII, 164, 1779; type Perca labrax L. 

 "Labrax sive Lupus" Klein. 

 Labrax, if allowed, replaces Dicentrarchus Gill = Labrax Cuvier, 1817. Not 

 Labrax of Pallas, 1810, which is Hexagram mos. 



Percis Klein, II, 45, Ed. 2, 1776; type Perca cernua L., as restricted 

 by Bleeker, Systema Percarum Revisum. "Percis pinnis sex 

 anteriore parte dorsalis 14" Klein. 

 Equivalent to Cernua Schaefer 1761, Gymnocephalus Bloch & Schneider 1801, 



to AcERiNA Cuvier 1817, and Cernua Fleming 1828; not Percis Scopoli 1777, nor 



of Cuvier. 



Narcacion Klein, II, 237, 1776; IV, 726, 1777; type Raja torpedo L. 

 "Narcacion demta CAUDA siNuosA ciRCULARis" Klein. 

 Narcacion, if accepted, replaces Torpedo Dumeril, not of Forskal. If rejected, 

 Narcobatus Blainville is next in date. Monotypic. 



Maenas Klein, II, 360, 1776; type Sparus m^na L. "M^nas dilute 

 viRiDis" Klein. 

 M^nas would replace M^na Cuvier. 



Cicla Klein, II, 412, 1776; type Labrus viridis L. "Cicla viridis oper- 

 culorum" Klein. 

 Synonym of Labrus L. Comprises all the species of Labrus L., called Turdus 

 or Merula by authors, these names also signifying "thrush." If accepted, Cichla 

 Bloch & Schneider, 1801, would require a new name. 



Rhina Klein, II, 587, 1776; type Rhina souatina L. "Rhina sive 

 squatina"' Klein. 

 Rhina, if allowed, replaces Squatina Dumeril.
