202 THE GENERA OK FISHES. PART II 



Ichthyscopus Swainson, II, 269; logotype Uranoscopus inermis Cuv. & Val. Re- 

 places Anema Gthr. 

 Enophrys Swainson, II, 271 ; liaplotype Cottus claviger Cuv. & Val. 

 Gymnocanthus Swainson, II, 271 ; liaplotype Cottus ventralis Cuv. & Val. Re- 

 places Phobetor Kroyer, 1844, and Elaphocottus Sauvage. This name 

 should read Gymnacanthus. There seems to be no classical warrant for 



Swainson's persistent use of "Canthus" (xdvqpo;, a donkey) to mean spine 



(axavOa). 

 Canthirhynchus Swainson, II, 272; haplotypc Cottus monopterygius Bloch. A 



synonym of Aspidophoroides Lac. (1802), 

 Hippocephalus Swainson, II, 272; logotype Agonus superciliosus Pallas, as 

 restricted by Gill, 1861. A synonym of Percis Scopoli (1777), not Percis 

 of Klein, nor of Cuvier. 

 Chirolophis Swainson, II, 275 ; haplotype Blennius yarrelli Cuv. & Val. = Blen- 



Nirs ASCANii Walbaum. Replaces Blenniops Xilsson (1855) and Carelophus 

 LOPHUS Kroyer. 

 Erpichthys Swainson, II, 275 ; logotype Salarias quadripinnis Riippell. A syno- 

 nym of Salarias Cuv. 

 Rupiscartes Swainson, II, 275; haplotype S.\l.\ri.\s alticus Cuv. & Val. = Blen 



Nius tridactylus B1. & Schn. Equivalent to Alticus Comraerson, but the 



latter may not be eligible 

 Cirripectes Swainson, II, 275; haplotype Salaria.s varlolosus Cuv. & Val. A syn 



onym of Alticus or Rupiscartes. 

 Blennophis Swainson, II, 276; logotype Clinus anguillaris Cuv. & Val., not 



Blennophis Val. (1844), which is Ophioblennius Gill. 

 Labrisomus Swainson, II, 277; logotype Clinus pectinifer Cuv. & Val. Often 



written Labrosomus ; replaces Lepisoma Dekay, 1842. 

 Ophisomus Swainson, II, 277; haplotype Blennius gunnellus L. Substitute for 



GuNNELLUs Cuv. & Val. A synonym of Pholis Scopoli (1777) and Mur^- 



NoiDES Lac. (1803). 

 Ognichodes Swainson, II, 278; type Gobioides eroussonneti Lac, a needless 



substitute for Gobioides Lac. Same as Amblyopus Cuv. & Val. 

 Scartelaos Swainson, II, 279; logotype GoBius viRinis Ham. Replaces Boleops 



Gill, 1863. 

 Ruppellia (misprinted Rupellia) Swainson. II. 281; orthotype GoBius echino- 



(KPHALUs Riippell. Preoccupied, replaced by Paragoriodon Blkr. (1879). 

 Amphichthys Swain.son, II, 282; haplotype Batrachus rubigenes Sw., from 



Pernambuco. This fish is said to have but one dorsal fin and no teeth on the 



palate. It is undoubtedly based on Batrachus cryptocentrus Cuv. & Val. It 



therefore replaces Marcgravia Jordan (1886) as also the substitute name. 



Marcgravichthys Ribeiro. 

 Salmophasia Swainson, TI, 284 ; logotype Cyprinus bacalla Ham. (S. oblonga Sw.). 



Called Salmostoma on page 184. A synonym of Sai.mostoma, whicli replaces 



Securicula Gthr. 1868). 

 Chedrus Swainson, TI, 285 ; haplotype Chedrus grayi Sw. -- Cyprinus chedra 



Ham. A synonym of Barilius Ham. 

 Esomus Swainson, II, 285; haplotype Esomus vittatus Sw. — Cyprinus daurica 



Ham. Replaces Nuria Cuv. & Val. (1842). 

 Clupisudis Swainson. II. 286; haplotypc Sums nilotica Ehrcnb. Replaces Hete- 



rotis Ehrenb. (1843).
