168 THE GENERA OF FISHES, PART II 



Orbis, page 141 ; "are perfectly valid," that is, properly presented as generic 

 names. Acus is a synonym of Syngnathus L., Orbis of Diodon L. 



10. GEOFFROY (1767). Descriptions de 719 plantes, etc. 

 fixiENNE Louis Geoffroy (1725-1810). 

 IchthyocoUa Geoffroy, 399 ; haplotype Acipenser huso L. This replaces Huso 

 Brandt, and Sterletus Raf. Mr. Sherborn informs me that the generic 

 names used by Geoffroy are "perfectly valid" for purposes of nomenclature. 

 These are: 



IcHTHYOcoLLA, 399, (Huso Brandt). 

 Harekgus, 405, (Clupea L.). 

 Lucius, 467, (Esox L.). 

 Trutta, 719, (Trutta L.). 



1772 

 17A. GRONOW (1772). (PteracUs.) Actae Helveticse. VII. 

 LoRENz Theodor Gronow (Laurentius Theodorus Gronovius). (1730-1777). 

 Pteraclis Gronow, 44; orthotype P. pinnata Gronow = Coryph^na velifera Pal- 

 las. As here used, unquestionably binomial. 



17B. GULDENSTADT (1772). (Sterlcta.) Nov. Comm. Sci. Petropol, XVI. 



Anton Johann Guldenstadt. 



Sterleta Guldenstadt, 533; type Acipenser ruthenus L. under polynomial desig 



nation. If eligible, will replace Sterletus Brandt and Sterledus Bon. 



1775 



20. KLEIN (1775). Neucr Schauplatz, etc. 

 Jakob Theodor Klein (1685-1759). 

 Prochilus Klein, I, 1043; Amphiprion ephippium Bloch, as restricted by Bleeker, 

 1877 (P. ovat^e figure macula fusca magna Klein). This name, if deemed 

 eligible from the date of the Schauplatz would replace Amphiprion B1. & Schn., 

 instead of Phoi.is Cuv. & Val. (Lipophrvs Gill), as suggested in part 1 

 of this work. 



1779 



31A. KLEIN (1779). Neuer Schauplatz, etc. 



Jacob Theodor Klein. 



Platystacus Klein, VIII, 52, 1779; type (P. cotylephorus Bloch); a synonym of 



ASPREDO (Gronow) Scopoli. 



1788 



31B. BRUNNICH (1788). Om licii ishndskc fisk I aagmiicrcit (Gymnogastcr 



arcticus). Kong. Dan.sk. Selsk. Skr., Ill, 408-413. 



Morten Thrane Brunnich (1737-1827) 



Gymnogaster Briinnich, III, 408; orthotype G. arcticus Briinnidi. .A synonym of 



Tk.\( hipterus Gouan. Not Trichiurus L. 



1795 

 45. BLOCH (1795). Naturgcschiclitc dcr ausliiudisclicii Fischc. IX. 

 Mark Elieser Bloch (1729-1799). 

 Gymnothorax Bloch IX, 83, 1795; type as first restricted (Bleeker, 1864) G. reticu- 

 laris Bloch. Ahhnugli originally virtually a substitute name for Mur.f.na 

 L., the first fixation of types separates the two. Gymnothorax thus replaces 

 LVCODONTIS McCl.
