102 THE GENERA OF FISHES 



that the type of his genus Crenilabrus is the Lutjanus verres of Bloch, I have 

 so retained it, placing all the others under the subgenus Cyn^dus." 



L. VERRES is identical with the type of Bodianus Bloch. We find no such state- 

 ment in Cuvier's writings, and L. verres is ninth of his original species. Cyn^dus 

 Swainson, as restricted by Bonaparte, is identical with Ctenolabrus Cuv. & Val. 



In the Fauna Italica, 156, 1839, Bonaparte assigned types to certain genera of 

 Labroid fishes. Labrus guttatus Bloch was indicated as type of Hemiulis 

 Swainson ; Labrus vetulus Bloch is considered as type of Labrus L. This name, 

 VETULUS, was not used by Linnaeus, but it is a synonym of Labrus bimaculatus L. 

 and Labrus mixtus L. Labrus bimaculatus may thus be regarded as the type of 

 Labrus. Labrus rupestris Bloch is indicated as type of Cyn-edus Swainson. 

 This becomes a synonym of Ctenolabrus Cuv. & Val., of a little earlier date in 

 1839. Labrus pavo of authors, not of Linnaeus, is recognized by Bonaparte as type 

 of Crenilabrus. This species is not named by Cuvier, but it is identical with 

 Labrus lapina Forskal, a species included by Cuvier. In Swain's excellent review 

 of Swainson (1882) the type of each genus is indicated. The type of Hemiulis 

 (auratus) assigned by Swain is a species of Cheilio Lacepede. The type of 

 Cyn-edus is C. tinca = C. doderleini Jordan, not Labrus tinca L., a species of 

 Crenilabrus. Bonaparte's selection of types has, however, priority over Swain's. 

 Bonaparte and Swainson recognize Labrus julis L. as type of Julis. The same 

 type, as Labrus pavo Hasselquist, is assigned to Chlorichthys Swainson by Bona- 

 parte. Swain makes the latter a synonym of Thalassom.\ Swainson. Bonaparte, 

 1846, selected L. julis L. as type of Ichthycallus Swainson, reducing both 

 Chlorichthys and Ichthycallus to the synonymy of Julis. 



Coricus Cuvier, 263; type Lutianus virescens Risso (L. ro-stratus 

 Bloch). 



Equivalent to Symphodits Rafinesque. 

 Epibulus Cuvier, 264; type Sparus insidiator Pallas. 



Monotypic. 

 Novacula Cuvier, 265 ; type Coryph^na novacui.a L. 



By tautonomy. Afterwards restricted by Cuvier & Valenciennes to Cory- 

 PHiENA pentadactyla Lacepede, the genus Hemipteronotus Lacepede. 



A synonym of Xyrichthys Cuvier, 1815. 



Chromis (Cuvier) Oken, 266, ("Les Chromis" Cuvier), Oken, 1182; 

 type Sparus chromis Lacepede. 

 Not Cromis Browne, 1770, nor Chromis Cuvier, 1S15. Called IIixiases by 

 Cuvier & Valenciennes. 



Plesiops (Cuvier) Oken, 266; type not named. 



Afterwards described as Plesiops nigricans Riippcll. Equivalent to Piiarop- 

 TERYX Riippcll, 1828. 



Smarts Cuvier, 269; type Sparus smarts L. 



A synonym of Spicara Rafinesque, 

 Boops Cuvier, 270; type Sp.arus boops L. 



Later called Box Cuv. & Val. 

 Sargus Cuvier, 272: type Si'.nki'S sargus L. 



Equivalent to Sargus Klein and Diplodus Rafinesque.
