234 THE GENERA OI" FISHES, PART II 



Dapalis instead of Smerdis. 



Enixe instead of Drepane. 



Hypodytes instead of Paracentropogon. 



Notacmon instead of Eurynotus. 



Odonus instead of Xenodon (Erythrodon). 



Periurgus instead of Microps. 



Proscinetes instead of Microdon. 



Secutor instead of Deveximentum. 



Strephon instead of Brontes. 



Strotes instead of Platysomus. 



The following are also admissible if a name differing in gender or slightly 

 in form but from the same roots as an earlier name is to be rejected as 

 preoccupied : 



Analithis instead of Platyrhina. 



Alazon instead of Pcecilia. 



Englottogaster instead of Oreinus. 



Euro instead of Eugnathus. 



Myrmillo instead of Mustelus. 



Prenes instead of Scatophagus. 



Rhadamista instead of Ctenodus. 



ScROPHA instead of Ceratodus. 



Pedites instead of Macropodus. 



The twice preoccupied name of Unhina Gistel, IX, is offered as a sub- 

 stitute for Linkia Nardo, said to be a fish, Linkia tvpus Nardo, preoccupied 

 by LiNCKiA Ag., a genus of Echinoderms, for which he offers the substitute 

 name of Catantes. But both Linkias are starfishes and neither a fish. 

 Another generic name, Phygas Gistel, X, is proposed in place of Polia 

 (Delia Chiaje, Isis, 1832, 647, Sci.ena), said to be preoccupied in worms, 

 by Polia Grube, which genus Gistel renames Cyryx. But I am informed by 

 Mr. Bean that Polia sipunculus Delia Chiaje is itself a worm also, not a fish. 



Carcharias Gistel, VIII; type Squalus acanthias L. ; substitute for Acanthias 



Risso, regarded as preoccupied by Acanthia. Carcharias was already twice 



preoccupied. A synonym of Squalus L., as restricted. 

 Pelonectes Gistel, VIII ; type (AcANTHoiissus bronni Ag.). Substitute for 



AcANTHODES Ag. (1833), wrongly said to be preoccupied in Crustacea (Ser- 



ville, 1835). A synonym of Acantiioicssus Ag. (1832). 

 Gremilla Gistel, VIII; type (Perca cernua L.). A substitute for Acerina Cuv. ; 



but Cernua Schafer and Acerina Giildenstadt, as well as Gymnocephalus 



nioch & Schneider are still older than Gremilla. 

 Adiapneustes Gistel, VIII; type (Acrodus gaillardoti Ag.). .\ substitute for 



,\( Rouus Ag. (1838), wrongly regarded as preoccupied by .'\crodon Zimmer- 



mann (1840). 

 Histiodromus Gistel, VIII; type (Salmo anostomus L). Name a substitute for 



.^nastomus Gronow. Scopoli, Cuvier. ."Ml these writers have priority over 



Anastomus Illiger (1835), a genus of birds. The name has often been 



written Anostomus. 

 Nomalus Gistel, VIII; type Lonchurus ancylodon B1. & Schn. (A jaculidens 



Cuv. & Val.) Substitute for Ancylodon, preoccupied. A synonym of 



Macrodon Schin/- (1822).
