TABLE 1 (cont'd) 



Family SIGANIDAE 



Siganus argenteus (Quoy and Gaimard, 1825): Woods, 1953. 



Siganus rostratus Woods, 1953. Woodland (In press) has shown that argenteus, named for the late postlarval stage of 

 this species, has priority over S. rostratus (Valenciennes). 

 Siganus puellus (Schlegel, 1852): Randall, 1986. 

 Siganus punctatus (Bloch and Schneider, 1801): Woods, 1953. 

 Siganus vulpinus (Schlegel and Muller, 1844): Woods, 1953. 

 Family SCOMBRIDAE 



Acanthocvbium sohndri (Cuuier, 1831): Schultz, 1960. 

 Eulhynnus a//inls (Cantor, 1849). 



Euth^nnus affinis '^alto Schultz, 1960. 

 Grammatorcvnus bilineatus (Riippell, 1836): Schultz, 1960. 

 Gvmnosarda unicolor (Riippell, 1836). 



Gvmnosarda nuda Schultz, 1960. Collette and Gibbs (1963) and Collette and Chao (1975) are followed in using the 

 name G. unicolor for the Dogtooth Tuna. Lewis (1968) identified parasitic copepods from a scombrid at Enewetak he 

 identified as Sarda orientalis. This species is not known from the Marshall Islands. From the parasites found he 

 probably had Gvmnosarda unicolor (Bruce B. Collette and Roger F. Cressey, personal commmunication). 

 Katsuwonus pelamis (Linnaeus, 1758): Schultz, 1960. 

 Thunnus albacares (Bonnaterre, 1788). 



Neothunnus albacora macropterus Schultz, 1960. Collette and Gibbs (1963) and Gibbs and Collette (1967) stated that 

 Neothunnus macropterus (Temminck and Schlegel) is a synonym of T. albacares. 

 Family NOMEIDAE 



Psenes sp. Schultz, 1960. 

 Family BOTHIDAE 



Arnoglossus intermedins (Bleeker, 1866): Woods, 1966. 

 Bothus mancus (Broussonet, 1782): Woods, 1966. 

 Bothus pantherinus (Ruppell, 1830): Woods, 1966. 

 Order PLEURONECTIFOFIMES 

 Family PLEURONECTIDAE 



Samariscus triocellatus Woods, 1966. 

 Family SOLEIDAE 



Aesopia heterorfiinos (Bleeker, 1856): Woods, 1966 

 Aseraggodes melanostictus (Peters, 1876): Woods, 1966.

Balistapus undulatus (Mungo Park, 1797): Woods, 1966. 

 Ba/is(oides conspicillum (Bloch and Schneider, 1801). 

 Batistes niger Kendall and Goldsborough, 1911 



Balistoides niger Woods, 1966. Randall and Klausewitz (1973) showed that Batistes niger Bonnaterre is a homonym; 

 therefore, B. conspicillum becomes the valid name. 

 Balistoides viridescens (Bloch and Schneider, 1801): Woods, 1966. 

 Canthidermis senticosus (Richardson, 1848): Woods, 1966. 

 Melichthvs niger (Bloch, 1786): Randall and Klausewitz, 1973. 

 Melichthvs vidua (Solander, 1844): Woods, 1966. 



Odonus niger (Ruppell, 1837): Hiyama, 1943; Randall, 1986 (after Strasburg). 

 Pseudoba/Jstes /lauimarginatus (Ruppell, 1829): Randall, 1986 (after Strasburg). 



Batistes ftauimarginatus Hiyama, 1943. 

 Pseudoba/isfes fuscus (Bloch and Schneider, 1801): Woods, 1966. 

 Rhinecanthus aculeatus (Linnaeus, 1758): Woods, 1966 

 Rt^inecanthus rectangulus (Bloch and Schneider, 1801): Woods, 1966. 

 Sujflamen bursa (Bloch and Schneider, 1801): Woods, 1966. 

 Sufftamen chrysoptera (Bloch and Schneider, 1801): Woods, 1966. 

 Sufftamen fraenatus (Latreille, 1804). 



Sufftamen capistratus Woods, 1966. Sufftamen fraenatus is the oldest name for this species (Frederick H. Berry, 

 personal communication). 

 Xanthichthi/s auromarginatus (Bennett, 1831): Randall, Matsuura, and Zama, 1978. 

 Xanthichthiis caeruleolineatus Randall, Matsuura, and Zama, 1978: Randall, 1986.
