170 THE GENERA OF FISHES, PART II 



56B. BORY DE SAINT VINCENT (1804). Voyage dans les quatre principales 



I'iles des Mers d'Afriquc. 1801 et 1802. 

 Jean Baptiste Bory de St. Vincent (1780-1846). 

 Acinacea Bory de St. Vincent. I, 93; orthotype A. notha Bory ( "Tacinacee ■ 

 batarde"). An ally of Thyrsites Cuv., overlooked by authors. It diflfers 

 from Thyrsites (atun), if correctly described and figured, in the presence 

 of twenty-nine spines in the dorsal fin, instead of twenty. The type specimen 

 was from the open sea, off Africa. If identical with Thyrsites, Acinacea 

 has priority. The Latin form as well as the French is given by the author. 



1808 



67. DUMfiRIL (1808). Dissertation sur Ics foissous Cyclostomcs. 

 Andre Marie Constant Dumeril (1774-1860). 

 Ammocoetus Dumeril ; orthotype Petromyzon branchialis L. (larval form of 

 Petrimyzon marinus or of Lamptera planeri, or both). Best treated as a 

 synonym of Petromyzon. 



1810 



72. RAFINESQUE (1810). Carattcri di alcuni nuovi generi c nuove specie di 



animale e piantc dcUa Sicillia. 

 Constantine Samuel Rafinesque (1783-1840). 

 Typhle Rafinesque, 18; orthotype Syngnathus typhle L. We are unable to find 

 any further notice of the blind genus of mammals "Typhle", as noted by 

 Lacepede. Typhle should therefore apparently stand, and not be replaced 

 by Typhlinus Raf. (1814). 



1811 



75A. PERRY (1811). Arcana or Museum of .Witural History. 



George Perry. 

 Congiopus Perry; orthotype C. percatus Perry — Blennius torvus Walbaum. 

 Replaces Agriopus Cuv.. 1829. 



75B. HUMBOLDT & VALENCIENNES (1811). Rccherchcs sur les poissons 

 fluviatilcs; Humboldt & Bonpland; vovagc atix regions cquinoxiales dh 

 nouz'cau continent. II (later edition; the original in 1806). 

 Friedrich Heinrich Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) ; Achille 



Valenciennes (1794-1865). 



Thrycomycterus Humboldt & Valenciennes ; orthotype T. nigricans Humboldt & 

 Val ; a synonym of Eremophilus Humboldt, according to Eigcnmann. Nam<r 

 spelled Trichomycterus by Valenciennes in 1846, and the genus made to 

 include Pygidium Meyer. 



1815 



85. RAFINESQUE (1815). Analyse de la nature, etc. 

 Constantine Samuel Rafinesque. 

 Raphistoma Rafinesque, 89; no type named and no diagnosis, except an erroneous 

 reference to Lacepede. Intended to represent Esox belone L. Spelled 

 Ramphistoma by Swainson. who adopts the name. Is apparently not eligible 

 in place of Belone Cuv., 1817, though an argument might be made for its 

 acceptance, as we know the type intended and there are a few words of inac- 

 curate diagnosis.
