MELANOCEPHALA K. & V. H. 

 Name preoccupied, replaced by Rhyacichthys Boulenger. 



Chirus (Steller) Cuvier, about 250; type Labrax lagocephalus Pallas. 



Substitute for Labrax Klein. 



Antennarius (Commerson) Cuvier (about 251); type Lophius com- 

 mersonianus Lacepede. 

 Accepted as a substitute for Chironectes Cuvier, 1817, preoccupied. 



Maltha Cuvier, 252; type Lophius vespertilio L. 



Synonym of Ogcocephalus Fischer. Monotypic. 

 Lachnolaimus Cuvier, 257; type Lachnolaimus suillus Cuvier. 



SuiLLUS of Catesby. Monotypic. 



Anampses Cuvier, 259; type Anampses cuvieri Quoy & Gaimard. 



Clepticus Cuvier, 261 ; type Clepticus genizara Cuvier.

 Malacanthus Cuvier, 264; type Coryph^na plumieri Bloch. 



Calliodon Cuvier ("les Calliodon"), (about 265) ; type Scarus 

 SPINIDENS Q. & G. 

 Not identical with Callyodon Gronow nor of Bloch & Schneider. Replaced 

 by Cryptotomus Cope, 1871. 



Odax Cuvier (about 265) ; type Scarus pullus Forster.

Mallotus Cuvier, II, 305; type Salmo grcenlandicus Bloch (Clupea 

 viLLOSA Gmelin). 



Thymallus Cuvier, 306; type Salmo thymallus L. 



Regarded by some as preoccupied by Thymalus Latreille, 1802, a genus of 

 beetles ; replaced by Choregon Minding, 1832. But the scantily noted Thymal- 

 lus of Linck, 1791, has priority over Thymalus, if acceptable. The root-words 

 of Thymallus and Thymalus are not identical, Thymallus being a Latin name 

 of the Grayling.

 Thryssa Cuvier; type Clupea setirostris Broussonet (Thrissa Cuv. 

 &Val., 1817). 



Not Thrissa Rafinesque, 1815. To be replaced by Thrissocles Jordan, a new 

 generic name.
