Chanda Ham., and the fixation of type for the substitute decides that of the 

 original name. Chanda nama is the orthotype of Bogoda Blkr., a genus well 

 defined, Ambassis bogoda being the type species. Swainson's second species. 

 Chanda lala Ham., which he spells lata, belongs to Bleeker's genus 

 Pseudambassis. This was chosen as type of Chanda by Fowler, and still 

 later C. ruconius by Jordan, but Swain's choice of type must hold. 

 Hamiltonia and Bogoda are therefore both synonyms of Chanda Ham. 



Platysomus Swainson, H, 250; logotype Vomer browni Cuv. & Val. A synonym 

 of Vomer; name preoccupied. 



Ctenodon Swainson, H, 255 ; logotype Ctenodon ruppelli Sw. = Ch.etodon sohal 

 Forskal, not Ctenodon Bon. nor of Ehrenberg. A synonym of Hepatus 

 Gronow, Teuthis L. and Acanthurus Forskal. 



Callicanthus Swainson, H, 256 ; haplotype Aspisurus elegans Riippell = Harpurus 

 LiTURATUS Forster. A section or genus near Naso. 



Zebrasoma Swainson, H. 256; haplotype Acanthurus velifer Bloch. 



Xiphichthys Swainson, II. 259; haplotype Gymnetrus russelli Shaw. A synonym 

 of Regalecus Briinnich. (Also, H, 46.) 



Xiphasia Swainson, H, 259; type "Ziphasia setifer" Sw. Replaces Nemophis 

 Kaup (1858) and Xiphogadus Gthr. (1862). 



Nemotherus (Rafinesque) Swainson (H, 260) ; orthotype N. erythropterus Raf. 

 Quoted from Rafinesque's Spccchio delle Sciense, I, 101, 1815. This is evi- 

 dently a slip for Nemochirus Raf. Nemotherus (Risso) Costa is a syno- 

 nym of Trachypterus. Nemochirus seems to be an ally of Stylephorus, as 

 yet unrecognized. 



Omichthys Swainson, II, 262; logotype Trigla punctata Bloch. A synonym of 

 Prionotus Lac. 



Pteroleptus Swainson, H, 264; haplotype Pteroleptus longicauda Sw., (Kodipungi 

 Russell). A synonym of Pterois Cuv. 



Macrochyrus Swainson, H, 264; haplotype Scorp-ena miles Bennett. A synonym 

 of Pterois Cuv. 



Brachyrus Swainson, II, 264; logotype Pterois zebra Cuv. & Val. A synonym of 

 Dendrochirus Sw., not Brachyochirus Nardo. Name spelled Brachirus 

 when first used, page 71. 



Pteropterus Swainson, II, 264; haplotype Pterois radiatus Cuv. & Val. 



Platypterus Swainson, II, 265; logotype T.enionotus latovittatus Lac. Name 

 preoccupied; replaced by Tetraroge Gthr., 1860. 



Pterichthys Swainson, II, 265 ; logotype Scorp^na carinata B1. & Schn. A syn- 

 onym of Apistus Cuv., to be used if that name is regarded as preoccupied 

 by Apistes, etc.; not Pterichthus Commerson (1803), nor Pterichthys Ag. 



Gymnapistes Swainson, II, 265; logotype Apistus marmoratu.s Cuv. & Val. Re- 

 places Pentaroge Gthr. 



Synanchia ("Cuvier") Swainson, 268; a variant of Synanceja: (S. erosa). 



Bufichthys Swainson, II, 268 ; logotype Scorp;ena horrida L. which is also type 

 of Synancidium Miiller, 1844. Where Bufichthys is first mentioned on 

 page 180 it has the definition still earlier assigned to Erosa and here given 

 to "Synanchia". Gill therefore regards it as a synonym of Erosa Sw.. 

 rather than as equivalent of Synancidium Miiller. 



Trachicephalus Swainson, II, 268; haplotype Synanceia elongata Cuv. & Val. 

 Preoccupied by Trachycephalus, 1838, a genus of reptiles. Replaced by
