Chromis Plumier, III, 546, 1803, footnote under Cheilodipterus ; type 

 Chromis seu tembra aureo-c^rulea litturis fusca variegata 

 Plumier (Cheilodipterus cyanopterus Lacepede), the "grygry" 

 or "grogro" of Martinique, Umbrina coroides Cuv. & Val. 

 The name is older than Umbrina, but later than Cromis Browne. The spe- 

 cific name Umbrina cyanoptera (Lacepede), based on Plumier's figure, must re- 

 place COROIDES and broussoneti for this species. 



Cheloniger Plumier, IV, 542, 1803, footnote under Cheilodipterus; 

 type Cheloniger ex auro et argenteg virgatus Plumier 

 (Cheilodipterus chrysopterus Lac. (Perca nobilis L.). 

 The name Cheloniger, if eligible, has priority over Conodon Cuvier. 



Cephalus Plumier, V, 1803 ; type Cephalus americanus vulgo atoulri 

 Plumier (Mugil cephalus L.). 

 A synonym of Mugil L. 

 Trichis Plumier, V, 1803, footnote under Clupea alosa ; type "Trichis 

 BELLONii LA pucelle" Plumier. 

 Doubtful, but wrongly identified by Lacepede with Clupea alosa L. 

 Acus Plumier, V, 1803, footnote under Sphyr^na; type Acus Ameri- 

 cana, rostri longiori Plumier (Sphyr^na acus Lacepede). 

 Same as Sphyr.«:na Rose, 1793.

1803; vol. V, 1804. 



George Shaw. 



Anguilla Shaw, IV, 15, 1803; type Anguilla vulgaris Shaw (Mur^na 



ANGUILLA L.).

 its use as a generic term prior to Shaw.
