58 THE GENERA OF FISHES 



Phycis Bloch & Schneider, 56; type Blennius phycis L. (Phycis tinca 

 Bloch & Schneider). 

 Equivalent to Pkycis Rose, 1793; not Phycis Fabricius, 1798, a genus of 

 Butterflies. 



Periophthalmus Bloch & Schneider, 63 ; type Periophthalmus pafilio 

 Bloch & Schneider. 



Eleotris Bloch & Schneider, 65 ; type Eleotris Gronow (Gobius pisonis 

 Gmelin). 

 The name is borrowed from Gronow, whose Eleotris is the Eleotris of 

 Cuvier and subsequent authors. But Eleotris pisonis is indicated by Schneider 

 as "a species of doubtful relations, perhaps a Periophthalmus." We let the 

 current arrangement stand, though on shaky foundation, unless the names of 

 Gronow are finally accepted. The genus Eleotris of Bloch & Schneider represents 

 an utter confusion of species, many of them not gobies at all. 



Brama Bloch & Schneider, 98; type Sparus raji Bloch. 



Not Brama Klein, which is Abramis Cuvier. 

 Monocentris Bloch & Schneider, 100; type Gasterosteus japonicus 

 Houttuyn. 



Monotypic. 

 Sphyrsena Bloch & Schneider, 109; type Esox sphyr^ena L. 



Equivalent to Umbla Catesby. Subsequent to Sphyr^na Rose. 

 Trichogaster Bloch & Schneider, 164 ; type Trichogaster fasciatus 



Bloch & Schneider. 

 Centronotus Bloch & Schneider, 165 ; type Centronotus fasciatus 

 Schneider. 



A synonym of Pholis Scopoli. 

 Percis Bloch & Schneider, 179; type Percis maculata Schneider. 



Not Percis Klein nor of Scopoli. Replaced by Parapercis Bleeker. Mono- 

 typic. 



Trichonotus Bloch & Schneider, 179; type Trichonotus setiger Bloch 

 & Schneider. 

 Monotypic. 

 Monoceros Bloch & Schneider, 180; type Monoceros biaculeatus 

 Bloch & Schneider (Ch^todon unicornis Forskal). 

 Name preoccupied in Mollusks. Equivalent to Naso Lacepede. 

 Grammistes Bloch & Schneider, 182 ; type Perca sexlineata Thun- 

 berg. 

 A jumble of striped fishes, restricted by Cuvier to the Grammistes of Seba, 



G. SEXLINEATUS. 



Synanceja Bloch & Schneider, 194; type Scorp.ena horrida L. 

 By common consent. Commonly written Synanceja.
