168 THE GENERA OF FISHES, PART II 



Orbis, page 141 ; "are perfectly valid," that is, properly presented as generic 

 names. Acus is a synonym of Syngnathus L., Orbis of Diodon L. 



10. GEOFFROY (1767). Descriptions de 719 plantes, etc. 



fixiENNE Louis Geoffroy (1725-1810). 

 IchthyocoUa Geofifroy, 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.). 

 Lucius, 467, (Esox L.). 

 Trutta, 719, (Trutta L.). 



1772 



17A. GRONOW (1772). (Pteraclis.) Actae Helveticae. VIL 

 LoRENz Theodor Gronow (Laurentius Theodorus Gronovius). (1730-1777). 

 Pteraclis Gronow, 44; orthotype P. pinnata Gronow — Coryph^na velifera Pal- 

 las. As here used, unquestionably binomial. 



17B. GtJLDENSTADT (1772). (Sterlcta.) Nov. Comm. Sci. Petropol, XVL 



Anton Johann Guldenstadt. 

 Sterleta Giildenstadt, 533 ; tj'pe Acipenser ruthenus L. under polynomial desig- 

 nation. If eligible, will replace Sterletus Brandt and Sterledus Bon. 



1775 



20. KLEIN (1775). Neuer Schauplats, etc. / 



Jakob Theodor Klein (1685-1759). 

 Prochilus Klein, I, 1043; Amphiprion ephippium Bloch, as restricted by Bleeker, 

 1877 (P. ovAT^ FiGVRM MACULA FUSCA MAGNA Klein). This name, if deemed 

 eligible from the date of the Schauplats would replace Amphiprion B1. & Schn., 

 instead of Pholis Cuv. & Val. (Lipophrys Gill), as suggested in part I 

 of this work. 



1779 



31 A. KLEIN (1779). Neuer Schauplatz, etc. 

 Jacob Theodor Klein. 

 Platystacus Klein, VIII, 52, 1779; type (P. cotylephorus Bloch); a synonym of 

 AsPREDO (Gronow) Scopoli. 



1788 



31B. BRtJNNICH (1788). Om den islandskc iisk Vaagmaeren (Gytnnogaster 



arcticus). Kong. Dansk. Selsk. Skr., Ill, 408-413. 



Morten Thrane Brunnich (1737-1827) 



Gymnogaster Briinnich, III, 408 ; orthotype G. arcticus Brunnich. A synonym of 



Trachipterus Gouan. Not Trichiurus L. 



1795 



45. BLOCH (1795). Naturgeschichte dcr ausldndischen Fische. IX. 

 Mark Elieser Bloch (1729-1799). 

 Gymnothorax Bloch IX, 83, 1795; type as first restricted (Bleeker, 1864) G. reticu- 

 laris Bloch. Although originally virtually a substitute name for Mur^na 

 L., the first fixation of types separates the two. Gymnothorax thus replaces 

 Lycodontis McCl.
