170 THE GENERA OK FISHES, PART II 



56B. BORY DE SAINT VINCENT (1804). Voyage dans Irs quatvc fnnril'ales 

 nies des Mers d'Afriquc. 1801 et 1802. 

 Jean Baptiste Bory de St. Vincent (1780-1846). 

 Acinacea Bory de St. Vincent, I, 93 ; orthotype A. notha Bory ( "I'acinacee 

 batarde"). An ally of Thyrsites Cuv., overlooked by authors. It differs 

 from Thvrsites (atun), if correctly described and figured, in the presence 

 of twenty-nine spines in the dorsal fin, instead of twenty. The type specimen 

 was from the open sea, off Africa. If identical with Thyrsites, Acinacea 

 has priority. The Latin form as well as the French is given by the author. 



1808 



67. DUM6RIL (1808). Dissertation siir Ics poissons Cyclostomcs. 

 Andre Marie Constant Dumeril (1774-1860). 

 Ammoccetus Dumeril; orthotype Petromyzox branchialis L. (larval form of 

 Petri MvzoN marinus or of Lamptera planeri, or both). Best treated as a 

 synonym of Petromyzon. 



1810 



72. RAFINESQUE (1810). Carattcri di alcuni tiiovi generi c nuove specie di 

 animalc e piante della Sicillia. 

 Constantine Samuel Rafinesque (1783-1840). 

 Typhle Rafinesque, 18; orthotype Syngnathus typhle L. We are unable to find 

 any further notice of the blind genus of mammals "Typhle", as noted by 

 Lacepede. Typhle should therefore apparently stand, and not be replaced 

 by Typhlinus Raf. (1814). 



1811 



7SA. PERRY (1811>. Arcana or Museum of Natural History. 



George Perry. 



Congiopus Perry; orthotype C. percatus Perry = Blennius torvus Walb;ium. 



Replaces .'\griopus Cuv., 1829. 



75B. HUMBOLDT & VALENCIENNES (1811). Rechcrchcs sur Ics poissons 

 fluviatilcs; Ilumboldt &■ Bonpland; vovagc aux regions c<iumoxialcs du 

 nouvrau continent. II (later edition; the original in 1806). 

 Friedrich Heinrich Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) ; .Xchille 

 Valenciennes (1794-1865). 



Thrycomycterus Humboldt & Valenciennes; orthotype T. nigricans Humboldt & 

 \'al ; a .synonym of Eremophii.us Humboldt, according to Eigenmann. Nam< 

 spelled Trichomycterus by Valenciennes in 1846, and the genus made to 

 inchidc Pvgidium Meyer. 



1815 

 85. RAFINESQUE (1815). Analyse dc la nature, etc. 

 Constantine Samuel Rafinesque, 

 Raphistoma Rafinesque, 89; no type named and no diagnosis, except an erroneous 

 reference to Lacepede. Intended to represent l'"sox belone L. Spellril 

 Ra.mphistom.\ by Swainson. who adopts the name. Is apparently not eligible 

 in place of Belone Cuv., 1817, though an argument might be made for its 

 acceptance, as we know the type intended and there are a few words of inac- 

 curate diagnosis.
