LINN^US, 1758 13 



tete large," etc. Later restricted to Cottus scorpius L. (Myoxocephalus Steller 

 =AcANTHocoTTUS Girard), by Putnam, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 1, No. I, 3, 1863. 



Scoipaena Linnxus, 266, after Artedi ; type Scorp^na porcus L. 



L'iK|ucstioned. 

 Zeus Linnaeus, 267, after Artedi ; type Zeus faber L. 



Unquestioned. 

 Pleuronectes Linnaeus, 268, after Artedi ; type Pi.euronectes pl.^tessa 

 L. 



First restriction by Fleming, Philos. Zool., 1822. Some writers have taken 

 Pleuronectes maximus L. as type, following a quasi-designation by Fleming in 

 1828. 



Chaetodon Linnaeus, 272, after Artedi ; type Ch^todon capistratus L. 

 l-'irst restriction by Cuvicr, R^gne Animal, 1817, 33, and by Jordan & Gilbert, 

 Synopsis Fish X. A.. 1883. All authors, except Bleekcr, have used the name for 

 the same group. Artedi places first in his list under Ch,etodon the species called 

 Ch.etodon arcuatus, a Pomacanthus. Blceker takes this species as type, re- 

 placing PoMACANTHUS with Ch^touon, and Ch«todon by Tetraconoptrus. 



Sparus Linn.-eus, 277, after Artedi ; type Sparus aur.\ta L. 



First restriction by Fleming, Philos. /.ool, 1822. This decision has been gen- 

 erally, but not universally accepted. 



Labrus Linnaeus, 282, after Artedi; type Labrus bimaculatus L., the 

 earliest type designated by Bonaparte (1839), under the name of 

 L. vetulus Bloch. 



By common consent restricted to Labrus viridis and closely allied forms. 

 Sciaena Linnaeus, 288; type Sci^na umbra L. 



Complex species, to be considered as identical with Cheilodipterus aquila 

 Lacepedc. First exact restriction by Cuvicr, 1815. Sci*na umbra, based on 

 Artedi, is a mixture of two species, Sci-bna aquila (Lac), and Corvina nigra 

 (Bloch). It is the proper type of the genus Sci-€NA, but its component parts are 

 not congeneric. The two species were confused until Cuvicr (.V/i=mi. du Museum, 

 1815, and later in the Rtgnc Animal, Edition II, 1829, made clear the difference and 

 definitely chose aquila as the type of Sci.tNA. Jordan & Evermann have adopted 

 Corvina nigra, under the name of Sci/ENa umbra, as type of Sci.tNA. An argu- 

 ment can be made for cither arrangement, but convenience is best served and prob- 

 ably justice also by accepting the name umbra for the species called aquila and 

 recognizing this as type of Sci«na. The two species concerned should then stand 

 as Sci/KNA umbra L. and Corvina nigra (Bloch). Bleekcr has chosen as type 

 Sci-F.NA ciRROSA, the species placed first by /Xrtcdi, the type of Umbrina Cuvier. 



Perca Linnaeus, 289, after Artedi; type I'erca fluviatii.is L. 



I'.y common consent. 

 Gasterostcus Linna;us, 295, after .\rtedi; type Gasterosteus ACitf-E- 

 ATUS L.
