Hypodytes Gistcl. VIII: orthotypc "Aspistes Q. & G.". which is Apistus loncis 

 piNis Cuv. & Val. The name is a substitute for Apistes ("Aspistes") 

 regarded as preoccupied. 



As the species of Quoy 8: (iaiiiuird (1834) (u)ngispinis) is the type of 

 Paracentropocon Blkr., Hypodytes may supersede that name, rather than 

 replace it by Prosopodasys Cantor (1849). Gistcl offers Hypodytes as a 

 substitute for "Aspistes Quoy, Astrolabe Fischc," although Apistes occurs 

 in the R^gne Animal, 1829 (Index), and Apistus in Cuv. &■ Val, IV, also 

 in 1829, in the loller part of the same year. As IIyi-ouvtks is expressly 

 used to rcpbce Aspistus (not Aspistes) of Quoy & Gainiard and as the 

 chief species tigurcd by those authors is A. loncispinis, the type of the 

 later genus Paracentropocon, Hypodytes may replace the totter, if Apistes 

 or Apistus is deemed occupied. 



Scrofaria Gicstcl, VHI; orthotypc Ausonia cuvieri Risso. Name an unexplained 

 substitute for AusoNi.v; a synonym of Litvakus Raf. 



Gliscus Gistcl, VIII; type (Hlochius longirostris Volta) (fossil). A substitute 

 for Bl(k:hius, a personal name. 



Strephon f;istel. VIII: orthotypc (Brontks prlnadilla (Cuv. At Val.). .■X sub 

 sliinte for Brontes Cuv. & Val. several times preocupied. 



Thalassoklephtes Gistcl, VIII; orthotypc (Caninoa chiereghini Nardo). ' .•V 

 substitute for Caninoa N'ardo, as a genus unworthy of a prince: "1st dcnn 

 dcr Prinz von Canino mit eincni Haven vcrglcichbar?" 



Scropha Gistcl, VIII; type (Ceratodus l.vtissimus Ag.) (fossil). A substitute 

 for Ceratodus, regarded as preoccupied by Ceratoiion Mrisson. 



Capellaria Gistcl, VIII; type (Lophius commersoni.nnus I^c). Substitute for 

 Ciiironectes Cuv., preoccupied. .\ synonym of .^NTENNARlus Cuv. 



CaEso Gistcl, VIII; type (Sparus berda Forskil). A substitute for "Chrysophrys 

 Riippell" (berda). A synonym of Sparus L. as understood by me. 



Cerdo Gistcl, VIII; type (Gadus callarias L.) as here restricted. Cerdo is 

 offered as a substitute for "Asellus Klein." But Klein does not accept 

 .AsELLUS as a generic name, but discusses its application to various cod-Iikc 

 fishes. He refers to "Cerdonks" in a discussion of dried codfish. Wc may 

 therefore regard Cerdo Gistcl as a synonym of Gadus L. 



Echemythes Gistel, VIII: type (Zeus luna Gmelin). A substitute for Chryso- 

 Tiisus Lac. A synonym of Lampris. 



Ronchifex Gistel, VIII; type (Harpe rufa Lac), substitute for Cossyphu.s

 lor CtENonus .\k. ( 1838) regarded as preoccupied by Ctenodon Wagner 

 (1830), 



Pirene Gistel, IX; type (Ch-etodon aruanus L). Substitute for Dascvlius: 

 preoccupied as Dascii-Lus : Pirene is itself preoccupied and gives way to 

 TrrBAnRACHMUM Cantor, 1849. 



Enixe Gistel, IX; type CH^eToonN punctatus L.). .\ substitute for Drkpank 

 Cuv., regarded as preoccupied by Drepane or Drepana .Schranck. It has 

 priority over Harpochiru.s Canlnr (1849). 



Secutor Gistel, IX; orthotypc Sparus iNsiniATOH (Bloch). .X substitute for 

 ICQfui.A Cuv.. but with a different type. Has priority over Deveximentum 

 Kowler, if this subgenus is distinct from Leiocnathus Lac.
