128 THE GENERA OF FISHES 



Corvina Cuvier, 173 ; type Sci^ena nigra Gmelin ; part of Sci^na 



UMBRA L. 

 The species Sci^na umbra L., the type of the genus Sci^na, was two-fold, 

 a complex about evenly divided of the species called Sci^na nigra Gmelin and 

 Cheilodipterus aquila Lacepede. The synonymy was disentangled by Cuvier 

 (Mem. du Museum, 1815) and the name Sci^na umbra retained in place of S. 

 aquila. In accepting this decision we restore the generic name Corvina, for the 

 "Corb," which becomes Corvina nigra, while Sci^na replaces Argyrosomus de 

 la Pylaie and Pseudosci^na Bleeker for the "Maigre," which remains Sci^ena 

 umbra L., the type of Sci^na L.
