BLEEKER, 1874 373 



Priolepis (Ehrenberg) Bleeker, IX, 305; orthotype Asterropteryx semipunctatus 

 Riippell. A synonym of Asterropteryx Riippell, noted in passing.

Hetereleotris Bleeker, IX, o06; orthotype GobiUS diadematus Riippell. 



Valenciennesia Bleeker, IX, 307; orthotype Eleotris strigata Blkr. 



The names Valenciennea, Valenciennesia, and Eleotriodes have been 

 confused by Bleeker. Valenciennea appeared (1868) without diagnosis, 

 with mention only of Eleotris hasselti Blkr. As this was a previously 

 known species, the name may be regarded as established and the species in 

 question as its type. Later in 1868 Valenciennesia appears also without 

 explanation, in connection with Eleotris strigata Blkr. Meanwhile, the 

 name Eleotriodes had been given in 1857, in the same way, without diag- 

 nosis, to Eleotris sexguttata Cuv. & Val. In 1874 Bleeker makes Eleo- 

 triodes a synonym of Valenciennesia, with E. strigata as type, and still 

 later in 1874, in his Esquisse General, Eleotriodes appears as a separate 

 genus, its • type being specified as Eleotris heldsdingeni Blkr. Clearly 

 Bleeker regarded these earlier names as names only, but as each of them 

 refers to a species already known, they must have place in the system. 

 That Valenciennea, 1868 (hasselti), is distinct from ^Eleotriodes, 1857 

 (sexguttata), is quite probable.
