Valenciennesia Blecker, IX, 307; orthotype Eleotris stricata Blkr. 



The names Valencies nea, Valenciennesia, and Eleotriodes have been 

 confused by Blecker. Valenciennea appeared (1868) without diagnosis, 

 with mention only of Eleotris hasselti Blkr. As this was a previously 

 known species, the name may be regarded as established and the species in 

 question as its type. Later in 1868 Valenciennesia appears also without 

 e.\planation, in connection with Eleotris stricata Blkr. Meanwhile, the 

 name Eleotriodes had been given in I8S7, in the same way, without diag- 

 nosis, to Eleotris se.ncl'ttata Cuv. & Val. In 1874 Blecker makes Eleo- 

 triodes a synonym of Valenciennesia, with E. stricata as type, and still 

 later in 1874, in his Esquissc Gineral, Eleotriodes appears as a separate 

 genus, its type being specilied as Eleotris heldsdingeni Blkr. Clearly 

 Blecker regarded these earlier names as names only, but as each of them 

 refers to a species already known, they must have place in the system. 

 That Valenciennea, 1868 (hasselti), is distinct from Eleotriodes, 1857 

 (sf-XCUTTata), is quite probable.
