Orthagoriscus Bloch & Schneider, (misprinted Orthragoriscus), 510; 

 type DiODON mola (Bloch). 

 Equivalent to Mola Kcelreuter. 

 Bogmarus Bloch & Schneider, 518; type Bogmarus islandicus Bloch 

 & Schneider (Gymnogaster arcticus Briinnich).

Caranx hippos L., as restricted by Bleeker, the first reviser. 

 The generic name Caranx was taken by Lacepede from the manuscripts of 

 Commerson, who first applied the name to Scomber speciosus Forskal. In revising 

 the genus, Bleeker referred speciosus to a new genus, Gnathanodon. This view 

 Dr. Gill accepted at first, but later selected speciosus as the type of Caranx, 

 leaving some older name as Tricropterus Rafinesque or Carangus Griffith for the 

 bulk of the species of this extensive group. Later, by the process of elimination, 

 Caranx ruber was selected by Jordan as type of Caranx. On the whole it seems
