198 THE GENERA OF FISHES, PART II 



Blennitrachus Swainson, II, 78; II, 274; orthotype Pholis quadrifasciatus 

 Wood. A synonym of Chas modes Cuv. 



Cichlaurus Swainson, II, 173; haplotype (230) Labrus punctatus Bloch. Later 

 called CiCHLASOMA, which name it should replace. 



Dendrochirus Swainson, II, 180; logotype Pterois zebra Cuv. & Val. 



Pteropterus Swainson, II, 180; logotype (p. 264) Pterois radiatus Cuv. & Val. 

 A synonym of Pterois Cuv. 



Psilosomus Swainson, II, 183; logotype T.*:nioides herrmannianus Lac. A syn- 

 onym of T^nioides Lac. 



Gobileptes Swainson, II, 183; no type named; orthotype intended (as is evident 

 from Swainson's description) Gobius acutipinnis Cuv. & Val. "like Gobius, 

 but the caudal lanceolate and the scales large". Bleeker (1876) has, how- 

 ever, fixed the type, none having been named before, on Gobius bato Ham. 

 This raises a question in nomenclature already noted under Apocryptes 

 (1837). 



Salmostoma Swainson, II, 184; logotype Cyprinus bacaila Ham. on page 284, 

 where the genus is called Salmophasia. Replaces Securicula Gthr., 1868. 



Scrophicephalus Swainson, II, 187; no type named, Mormyrus caschive Hassel- 

 quist intended ("dorsal fin single, very long; snout produced"). A synonym 

 of Mormyrus L., as restricted by Gill (1862). 



Ariosoma Swainson, II, 194; logotype as restricted by Bleeker, 1864, Ophisoma 

 acuta Sw. = Mur-ena balearica De la Roche. Replaces Congermur^na 

 Kaup (1856) and Congrellus Ogilby 1898. 



Leiodon Swainson, II, 194; logotype Leiosomus marmoratus Sw. = Tetraodon 

 cutcutia Ham., as defined by Bleeker (1865). Swain restricts the name 

 Leiosomus as later substituted bj^ Swainson for Leiodon, to Leiosomus 

 l^vissimus Sw., which is Tetraodon spengleri Bloch, a species of 

 Spheroides. Leiodon Sw. has precedence over Leiodon Owen, 1841, and 

 replaces Monotreta Bibron. 



Canthigaster Swainson, II, 194; logotype Tetraodon rostratus Bloch. Called 

 Psilonotus later in the text; replaces Anosmius Peters. 



Cromileptes Swainson, II, 201 ; logotype Serranus altivelis Cuv. & Val. Restricted 

 by Bleeker (1875) to S. altivelis, thus replacing Serranichthys Blkr. 

 Later restricted by Swain to Epinephelus gigas. 



Cynichthys Swainson, II, 201 ; haplot}'pe Perca flavopurpurea Bennett = HoLO- 

 centrus flavoc^ruleus Lac. A synonym of Epinephelus (not Plectorhyn- 

 CHUS as stated by Swain). 



Variola Swainson, II, 202; haplotype V. longipinna Sw. = Perca louti Forskal. 



Uriphaeton Swainson, II, 202; orthotype Serranus phaeton Cuv. & Val. = U. 

 microleptes Sw. This genus is based on a made-up fish, a Cephalopholis, 

 with the tail of a Fistularia attached. A synonym of Cephalopholis B1. & 

 Schn. 



Elastoma Swainson, II, 202; type Etelis oculatus (Cuv. & Val.). A synonym of 

 Etelis Cuv. 



Rabdophorus Swainson, II, 211; haplotype Ch^todon ephippium Bloch. A sub- 

 division of Ch.^todon. 



Genicanthus Swainson, II, 212; logotype Holacanthus lamarcki (Cuv.) A 

 synonym of Holacanthus Lac. 



Microcanthus Swainson, II, 215; haplotype Ch.etodon strigatus Cuv.. a wilful 

 misprint for Micracanthus.
