Apolectus Bennett, I, 169; orthotype A. im munis Bennett. A synonym of Scomber- 

 OMORUs Lac. 



1831 



146A. CIA'IER & VALENCIENNES (1831). Histoire naturcUc dcs poissons. 

 VII (January. 1831), VIII. October. 1831. 

 Georges Cuvier; Achille Valenciennes. 

 Drepane Cuvier & Valenciennes. VII, 129; orthotype Ch^todon punctatus L. ; 

 name preoccupied by Drepana or Drepane Schranck, Lepidoptera. 1802; 

 replaced by Enixe Gistel, 1848, and by Harpochirus Cantor, 1849. 

 Spinax (^Commerson) Cuvier & Valenciennes. VIII. 333; orthotype S. edax Com- 

 merson MS. = Ca-STERosteus canadus L., note in passing. Name pre- 

 occupied; a synonym of Rachycentron Kaup (Elacate Cuv.). 



146B. BONAPARTE (1831). Saggio di una distribnzione mctodica dcgli animali 

 vertebrati. Prospetto del Systema d'lttiologia Generale ; also in Giornale 

 Arcadico, 167-190. 1832. 

 Charles Lucien Jules Laurent Bonaparte, Prince de Caning (1803-1857). 



(Carlo Luciano Bonaparte). 



Merou ("Cuvier") Bonaparte, 101; type presumably Serranus gigas; not defined. 

 Same as Epinephelus Bloch. 



Dulichthys Bonaparte, 101 ; haplotype Dules auriga Cuv. Name a substitute for 

 Dules Cuv., regarded as preoccupied by DuLUS, a genus of birds. If needed, 

 Dulichthys replaces Eudulus Fowler. 



Pogonathus (Lacepede) Bonaparte, 104. This name is revived as a substitute for 

 Pogonias Lac. 1803, "long since used in ornithology". But Pogonias Illiger 

 dates from 1811, while Pogonia and Pogonias, as a genus of birds, are still 

 later in date. 



Micropogonias Bonaparte, 104; type Perca undulata L. Subtitute for MiCRO- 

 POGON, which is said to be, but apparently is not, preoccupied. 



Sarpa Bonaparte 105 ; a bare word of reference. The intended type is obviously 

 Sparus salpa L. Sarpa may stand as a section under Boops, the body being 

 deeper and more compressed than in B. boops. 



Palamita Bonaparte, 107; (type Scomber sarda Bloch). Name a substitute for 

 Pelamys Cuv. & Val., 1801, preoccupied in reptiles. But Sarda Cuv., 1829, 

 is older and stands unless the non-binomial Sarda Plumier, 1802 (= Ocyurus 

 Gill) is deemed eligible, in which case Palamita would hold. 



Priodontichthys Bonaparte, 109; haplotype Priodon annularis Cuv. & Val., the 

 young of Naso annulatus Q. & G. Substitute for Priodon Cuv., preoccupied. 

 A synonym of Naso Lac. 



Scopas Bonaparte, 109; type presumably Acanthurus scopas Cuv. & Val., being 

 placed next to Acanthurus, but neither diagnosis nor type is given. Pre- 

 sumably the same as Zebrasoma Sw., but not eligible. 



Ctenodon Bonaparte, 109. No description nor type mentioned ; presumably in- 

 tended for Acanthurus ctenodon Cuv. & Val., preoccupied ; replaced by 

 Ctenoch/etus Gill, 1884. 



Elops (Commerson) Bonaparte, 112; (type Gomphosus tricolor Lac). Suggested 

 as a substitute for Gomphosus Lac. (Not Elops L., 1758.) 



Erythrichthys Bonaparte. 116; type (Salmo erythrinus B1. & Schn.). A needless 

 substitute for Erythrinus (Gronow) Scopoli. It renders Erythrichthys T. 

 & S. preoccupied, to be replaced by Erythrocles Jordan, 1919.
