174 THK GKXEKA dl'' FISHES, PART II 



Ostichthys (Langsdorff) Cuvier & Valenciennes. Ill, IbO; orthotype M^T!IPristis 

 jAPONicus Cuv. & Val. No generic definition ; reestablished liy Jordan and 

 Evermann, 1896. 



Apistus Cuvier & Valenciennes, IV. 391 ; logotype Apistus alatus Cuv. & Val. 

 called "Ics AriSTEs" by Cuvier. Regarded as preoccupied by Apista IHibncr. a 

 genus of insects, and by Aspistes Meigen, a genus of flies. If rejected, it may 

 Ije replaced by Pterichthys S\v., 1839, unless that is regarded as invalid, 

 from the non-binomial Pterichthus of Comroerson (1803), which is 

 ExoccETU.s. Hypodytes Gistel (1848) is also a substitute name, but the indi- 

 cated type (longispinis) is a Paracentropogon of Bleeker, also not mentioned 

 by Cuvier. Prosopodasvs Cantor, 1849, is also given as a substitute name for 

 Apistus and must retain the same type. If Apistus is preoccupied, I think 

 that Pterichthys should replace it. . . . Apistes trachinoides Cuv. & 

 Val. used by Giinther as type of Prosopodasvs is not eligible for that purpose, 

 the species not being one of those mentioned by Cuvier. 



Spurco (Commerson) Cuvier & Valenciennes, IV, 448, 1829; (reference in passing) 

 haplotype Scorp^ena brachio Cuv. = Synanceja verrucosa B1. & Schn.,

 Miiller.
