RAFINESQUE, 1815 91 



Soranus, 88, 



Cordorinus, 89. 



Substitute for Corydoras Lacepede. 

 Amiatus, 89. 



Substitute for Amia L. Amiatus becomes eligible if Amia Gronow be ac- 

 cepted instead of Apogon. 



Sayris, 89. 



Substitute for Scombresox Lacepede. 



Ranftphistoma, 89; "Raf. Belone Gronow." 



The word Belone was not used in a generic sense by Gronow, but first by 

 Cuvier in 1817. Rafinesque apparently refers to synonymy of the species as quoted 

 from Gronow by Lacepede.* This reference does not seem to justify the substitu- 

 tion of RaiAphistoma for Belone. 

 /I 

 '>»i/ Od^mphus, 89. 



Onopionus, 89. 



Guaris, 90. 



Typhlinus, 90, "sp. do." 



That is, of Syngnathus, earlier called Typhle by Rafinesque, which name is 

 used by Lacepede for a "blind" genus of mammals, but without mention of type. 



Phyllophorus, 90. 



Homolenus, 90. 



- y This and the two preceding are placed in the same family as Syngnathus. 



y Goniodermus, 90, "sp. do." 

 Of Ostracion. 



Cephalopsis, 90, "sp. do." 



Of DiODON. 



Orbidus, 90. 



For "Spheroide" of Lacepede. 

 Oonidus, 90. 



For "Ovoide" of Lacepede. 

 Tangus, 91. 



Said to be the same as "Heptaca" Rafinesque. 

 Piratia, 91. 



Opictus, 91. 



*In the synonymy of Esox belone Lacepede has this quotation: 



"Belone et raphis, id est acus. Petri Artedi Synonymia Piscium etc., auctore 

 J. G. Schneider, etc. 



"Gronov. Mus. i, n. 39. Zooph., p. 117, n. 362." 



In a hasty reading, Rafinesque must have ascribed both sentences to Gronow, 

 who apparently did not use the name Belone.
