BLAINVILLE, 1816 95 



Aetobatus Blainville, 112; type Raja narinari Euphrasen. 



As restricted by Miiller & Henle, 1838; not as restricted by Cantor, 1850. 

 The latter arrangement would accord better with Blainville's obvious purpose of 

 making Raja aquila his "Aetobatis vulgaris," the best known of these "raies 

 aigles," his type. The first restriction, however, has the sanction of Agassiz, Giin- 

 ther, and Gill. 



Dicerobatus Blainville, 116; type Raja mobular Lacepede. 



A synonym of Mobula Rafinesque. Monotypic. 

 Leiobatus Blainville, 121, "Raies lisses" ; type Leiobatus sloani Blain- 

 ville. 



A species of Urotrygon. Not Leiobatus Rafinesque, which is Rhinobatus; 

 nor Leiobatus Klein, a synonym of Raja. 



Narcobatus Blainville, 121 ; type Raja torpedo L. 



Scylliorhinus Blainville, 121, "Squales roussettes"; type Squalus 

 CANicuLA Lacepede. 

 As restricted. Prior to Scyllium Cuvier. 



Cestrorhinus Blainville, 121 ; type Squalus zyg^na L. 



A synonym of Cestracion Klein and Sphyrna Rafinesque. 

 Monopterhinus Blainville, 121, "squales a une seule pinnule dorsale" ; 

 type Squalus griseus Gmelin. 



A synonym of Hexanchus Rafinesque. Monotypic. 

 Acanthorhinus Blainville, 121, "squales epineux" ; type Squalus acan- 

 thi as Lacepede. 



Equivalent to Squalus L. as restricted by Rafinesque and by Gill. 

 Heterodontus Blainville, 121 ; type Squalus philippi Lacepede. 



The name seems sufficiently different from Heterodon, a genus of snakes of 

 prior date, although from identical Greek roots. Otherwise would stand as Cen- 

 tracion Gray. Monotypic. 



Cetorhinus Blainville, 121 ; type Squalus maximus Gunner. 



Monotypic. 

 Galeorhinus Blainville, 121, "Squales demi-Requins" ; type Squalus 

 CANIS L. 



As restricted by Gill, 1864; Squalus mustelus as restricted by Garman, 1913. 

 The former arrangement must hold, replacing Eugaleus Gill. 



Carcharhinus Blainville, 121 ; type Squalus commersonianus Blain- 

 viUe. 

 As restricted by authors. 

 Echinorhinus Blainville, 121, "Squales boucles"; type Squalus spin- 

 osus Gmelin.
