52 THE GENERA OF FISHES 



Cicla Rose, 112; type "Cicla vix palmaris" Rose, xix^t] Aristotle, a 

 species of Labrus, perhaps L. viridis L. 

 Cicla Klein is identical with that of Rose. Schneider, more correctly, wrote 

 the word Cichla, but applied it to a different group. 



Sphyraena Rose, 112; type acpvpaiva Aristotle := Esox sphyr.ena L. 



This antedates Sphyilena Bloch & Schneider, 1801, for the same genus. 

 Hepatus Rose, 113; type r[7iaxoc, Aristotle, which is probably Labrus 

 hepatus L., the type of the genus Paracentropristis Bleeker. 



Hepatus Gronow is wholly different. 

 Capriscus Rose, 114; type xa^Qiaxog Diphili, xdjtQog Aristotle, which is 

 probably Balistes capriscus L. 



A synonym of Balistes L. 

 Taenia Rose, 114; type xaivia Aristotle = Cepola t^nia L. 



The genus is equivalent to Cepola L., and is preoccupied in Worms by 

 T^NIA L. 



Pholis Rose, 116; type qpoAig Aristotle = Blennius pholis L. 



Equivalent to Pholis Cuv. & Val., not of Scopoli, 1777. 

 Citharus Rose, 116; type xi'^dpog Aristotle = Pleuronectus lingua- 

 tula L. 



Equivalent to Citharus Bleeker, 1862, and Eucitharus Gill, 1888; not 

 Citharus Reinhardt, 1838, which is Hippoglossoides. 



Liparis Rose, 117; type "Liparis nostras Johnson" ^ Cyclopterus 



LIPARIS L. 

 Equivalent to Cyclogaster Gronow and Liparis Scopoli. 

 Chelon Rose, 118; type ^d^^wv or xs^tov Aristotle, Ciielon of Gesner, 

 which is probably Mugil chelo Cuv. & Val. 

 Probably equivalent to Ch^nomugil Gill, but the European and American 

 types need further comparison.
