174 TI[K GENERA OF FISHES, PART II 



Ostichthys (Langsdorff) Cuvier & Valenciennes, III, 160; orthotype Myripristis 

 jAPONicus Cuv. & Val. No generic definition ; reestablished by Jordan and 

 Evermann, 1896. 



Apistus Cuvier & Valenciennes, IV, 391 ; logotype Apistus alatus Cuv. & Val. 

 called "les Apistes" by Cuvier. Regarded as preoccupied by Api6T.\ Hiibner, a 

 genus of insects, and by Aspistes Meigen, a genus of flies. If rejected, it may 

 be replaced by Pterichthys Sw., 1839, unless that is regarded as invalid, 

 from the non-binomial Pterichthus of Commerson (1803), which is 

 ExoccETUS. Hypodytes Gistel (1848) is also a substitute name, but the indi- 

 cated type (longispinis) is a Paracentropogon of Bleeker, also not mentioned 

 by Cuvier. Prosopodasv.s Cantor, 1849, is also given as a substitute name for 

 Apistus and must retain the same type. If Apistus is preoccupied, I think 

 that Pterichthys should replace it. . . . Apistes trachinoides Cuv. & 

 Val. used by Giinther as type of Prosopodasvs is not eligible for that purpose, 

 the species not being one of those mentioned by Cuvier. 



Spurco (Commerson) Cuvier & Valenciennes, IV, 448, 1829; (reference in passing) 

 haplotype Scorp^na brachio Cuv. — Synanceja verrucosa B1. & Schn., 

 same as Synanceichthys Blkr. ; a synonym of Synanceja as restricted by 

 Muller.
