234 THE GENERA OF FISHES, PART II 



Dapalis instead of Smerdis. 



Enixe instead of Drepane. 



Hypodytes instead of Paracentropogon. 



NoTACMON instead of Eurynotus. 



Odonus instead of Xenodon (Erythrodon). 



Periurgus instead of Microps. 



Proscinetes instead of Microdon. 



Secutor instead of Deveximentum. 



Strephon instead of Brontes. 



Strotes instead of Platysomus. 



The following are also admissible if a name differing in gender or slightly 

 in form but from the same roots as an earlier name is to be rejected as 

 preoccupied : 



Analithis instead of Platyrhina. 



Alazon instead of Pcecilia. 



Englottogaster instead of Oreinus. 



FuRO instead of Eugnathus. 



M^TiMiLLO instead of Mustelus. 



Prenes instead of Scatophagus. 



Rhadamista instead of Ctenodus. 



Scropha instead of Ceratodus. 



Pedites instead of Macropodus. 



Tlie twice preoccupied name of Undina Gistel, IX, is offered as a sub- 

 stitute for Linkia Nardo, said to be a fish, Linkia typus Nardo, preoccupied 

 by LiNCKiA Ag., a genus of Echinoderms, for which he offers the substitute 

 name of Catantes. But both Linkias are starfishes and neither a fish. 

 Another generic name, Phygas Gistel, X, is proposed in place of Polia 

 (Delia Chiaje, Isis, 1832, 647, Sci.ena), said to be preoccupied in worms, 

 by Polia Grube, which genus Gistel renames Cyryx. But I am informed by 

 Mr. Bean that Polia sipunculus Delia Chiaje is itself a worm also, not a fish. 



Carcharias Gistel, VIII ; type Squalus acanthias L. ; substitute for Acanthias 



Risso, regarded as preoccupied by Acanthia. Carcharias was already twice 



preoccupied. A synonym of Squalus L., as restricted. 

 Pelonectes Gistel, VIII; type (Acanthoessus bronni Ag.). Substitute for 



AcANTHODES Ag. (1833), wrongly said to be preoccupied in Crustacea (Ser- 



ville, 1835). A synonym of Acanthoessus Ag. (1832). 

 Gremilla Gistel, VIII; type (Perca cernua L.). A substitute for Acerina Cuv. ; 



but Cernua Schafer and Acerina Giildenstadt, as well as Gymnocephalus 



Bloch & Schneider are still older than Gremilla. 

 Adiapneustes Gistel, VIII; type (Acrodus gaillardoti Ag.). A substitute for 



AcRODUS Ag. (1838), wrongly regarded as preoccupied by Acrodon Zimmer- 



mann (1840). 

 Histiodromus Gistel, VIII; type (Salmo anostomus L.). Name a substitute for 



Anastomus Gronow, Scopoli, Cuvier. All these writers have priority over 



Anastomus Illiger (1835), a genus of birds. The name lias often been 



written Anostomus. 

 Nomalus Gistel, VIII; type Lonchurus ancylodon B1. & Schn. (A jaculidens 



Cuv. & Val.) Substitute for Ancylodon, preoccupied. A synonym of 



Macrodon Schinz (1822).
