20 THE GENERA OF FISHES 



Amia Gronow, 80; type Apogon moluccensis Cuv. & Val. (Amia caput 



CATHEOPLATEUM GroilOw). 



Equivalent to Apogon Lacepede, 1802. 

 Eleotris Gronow, 83 ; type Gobius pisonis Gmelin = Eleotris gyrinus 

 Cuvier & Valenciennes (Eleotris capite plageoplateo etc. 

 Gronow). 

 The name Eleotris was used for the same group by Bloch & Schneider in 

 1801, and by all later authors. 



Clarias Gronow, 100; type Clarias orontis Giinther (Clarias Gronow). 



Accepted by Scopoli, 1777, and by other writers. Monotypic. 

 Albula Gronow, 102; type Esox vulpes L. = Albula conorhynchus 

 Bloch & Schneider. 



Revived by Bloch & Schneider, 1801. Antedated by Albula Osbeck. Equiva- 

 lent to BuTYRiNUS Lacepede. Also used by Scopoli, 1777. 



Aspredo Gronow, 102, after Linnaeus, 1754; type Silurus aspredo L. 

 (Aspredo cirris octo Gronow). 



Anableps Gronow ; type Cobitis anableps L. 



Anostomus Gronow, 112; type Salmo anostomus L. (Anostomus 

 Gronow). 

 Adopted by Miiller & Troschel, 1845. Equivalent to Schizodon Agassiz, 1829. 

 Monotypic. Revived by Scopoli, 1777. 



Synodus Gronow, 112; type Salmo synodus L. 



This genus, equivalent to Saurus Cuvier, was revived by Scopoli, 1777. 

 Monotypic. 



Hepatus Gronow, 113; type Teuthis hepatus L. = Ch^todon chir- 

 URGUS Bloch, not Acanthurus hepatus Cuv. & Val. (Hepatus 

 MUCRONE reflexo Gronow). 

 Hepatus Gronow is based on two species, on which two Linnseus based his 

 genus Teuthis. The latter is a substitute for the former, and the two were ac- 

 cepted as identical by Scopoli. Of the two species mentioned by Gronow, hepatus 

 L. and javus L., Gronow had, according to Dr. Giinther, a specimen of the first. 

 This we may take as type of both Hepatus and Teuthis hepatus. This example 

 belonged to the species called later Ch^todon chirurgus by Bloch. This species 

 must be regarded as the type of the genus Hepatus. Cuvier & Valenciennes have 

 used the name Hepatus L. for an East Indian specie.s, Colocopus lambdurus Gill. 

 They were mistaken in supposing that this species was the one examined by Gronow. 

 The restriction here made is that of the first reviser, Jordan, Tanaka & Snyder, 

 Cat. Fish Japan, 1913, 214. If accepted, Hepatus replaces Teuthis and Acan- 

 thurus. 



Umbra (Kramer) Gronow, 114; type Cyprinodon krameri Walbaum. 

 (Umbra krameri Gronow). 

 Revived by Scopoli, 1777, and Miiller, 1842, as Umbra crameri Miiller.
