Nomenclatural Changes 



Three new frogfish names have been pubhshed since my review. 

 Cadenat (Bull. Inst. Francais Afrique Noire, vol. 21, ser. A., no. 1, 

 pp. 361-385, figs. 1-26, 1959) described Antennarius (Fowlerichthys) 

 senegalensis, A. (Triantennatus) delaisi, and A. (T.) occidentalis as 

 new species from off the west coast of Africa. 



Golem Whitley 



Xenophrynichthys Schultz (synonym). 



The generic name Golem Whitley (type species, Antennarius 

 cryptacanthus Weber), published May 8, 1957 (Proc. Roy. Zool. Soc. 

 New South Wales, p. 70) has priority over Xenophrynichthys Schultz 

 (Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., vol. 107, no. 3383, p. 81, November 1, 1957), 

 both with the same type species. 



Antennarius radiosus Ganuan 



Kanazawaichthys scutatus Schultz (synonym). 



In 1957 (op. cit., p. 63) I described Kanazawaichthys scutatus on 

 prejuvenile specimens, characterized by having two pairs of enlarged 

 bony plates on the head. Hubbs (Copeia, no. 4, pp. 282-285, 1958), 

 with additional specimens and aided b}^ me in a restudy of still more 

 specimens, concluded that K. scutatus is the prejuvenile of A. radiosus, 

 an opinion with which I concur. 



Maul (Bocagiana, Mus. Mun. Funchal, no. 1, p. 15, 1959) records 

 a large specimen of A. radiosus from Madeira, and Palmer (Ann. Mag. 

 Nat. Hist., ser. 13, vol. 3, pp. 149-151, 1960) records a prejuvenile 

 A. radiosus, 13 mm. in standard length, off the West Coast of Ireland, 

 54°10' N., 12°10' W. ; thus, this western Atlantic species occasionally 

 occurs in the eastern part of the Atlantic Ocean.
