GisTEL. 1848 235 



Hypodytes Gistel VIII ; orthotype "Aspistes Q. & G.", which is Apistus longis- 

 piNis Cuv. & Val. The name is a substitute for Apistes ("Aspistes") 

 regarded as preoccupied. 



As the species of Quoy & Gaimard (1834) (longispinis) is the type of 

 Paracentropogon BIkr., Hypodytes may supersede that name, rather than 

 replace it by Prosopodasys Cantor (1849). Gistel offers Hypodytes as a 

 substitute for "Aspistes Quoy, Astrolabe Fische," although Apistes occurs 

 in the Regne Animal, 1829 (Index), and Apistus in Cuv. & Val, IV, also 

 in 1829, in the latter part of the same year. As Hypodytes is expressly 

 used to replace Aspistus (not Aspistes) of Quoy & Gaimard and as the 

 chief species figured by those authors is A. longispinis, the type of the 

 later genus Paracentropogon, Hypodytes may replace the latter, if Apistes 

 or Apistus is deemed occupied. 



Scrofaria Giestel. VIII; orthotype Ausonia cuvieri Risso. Name an unexplained 

 substitute for Ausonia ; a synonym of Luvarus Raf. 



Gliscus Gistel, VIII; type (Blochius longirostris Volta) (fossil). A substitute 

 for Blochius, a personal name. 



Strephon Gistel, VIII; orthotype (Brontes prenadilla (Cuv. v*t Val.). A sub- 

 stitute for Brontes Cuv. & Val. several times preocupied. 



Thalassoklephtes Gistel, VIII; orthotype (Caninoa chiereghini Nardo). A 

 substitute for Caninoa Nardo, as a genus unworthy of a prince : "1st denn 

 der Prinz von Canino mit einem Hayen vergleichbar?" 



Scropha Gistel, VIII; type (Ceratodus latissimus Ag.) (fossil). A substitute 

 for Ceratodus, regarded as preoccupied by Ceratodon Brisson. 



Capellaria Gistel, VIII; type (Lophius commersonianus Lac). Substitute for 

 Chironectes Cuv., preoccupied. A synonym of Antennarius Cuv. 



Caeso Gistel, VIII; type (Sparus berda Forskal). A substitute for "Chrysophrys 

 Rvippell" (berda). A synonym of Sparus L. as understood by me. 



Cerdo Gistel, VIII; type (Gadus callarias L.) as here restricted. Cerdo is 

 offered as a substitute for "Asellus Klein." But Klein does not accept 

 AsELLUS as a generic name, but discusses its application to various cod-like 

 fishes. He refers to "Cerdones" in a discussion of dried codfish. We may 

 therefore regard Cerdo Gistel as a synonym of Gadus L. 



Echemythes Gistel, VIII; type (Zeus luna Gmelin). A substitute for Chryso- 

 Tosus Lac. A synonym of Lampris. 



Ronchifex Gistel, VIII; type (Harpe rufa Lac), substitute for Cossyphus 

 Cuv., preoccupied; Bodianus Bloch and Harpe Lac. are names still older 

 for the same genus. 



Rhadamista Gistel, VIII; type (Ctenodus cristatus Ag. (fossil). A substitute 

 for Ctenodus Ag. (1838) regarded as preoccupied by Ctenodon Wagner 

 (1830). 



Pirene Gistel, IX; type (Ch^todon aruanus L.). Substitute for Dascyllus; 

 preoccupied as D.'^scillus ; Pirene is itself preoccupied and gives way to 

 Tetradrachmum Cantor, 1849. 



Enixe Gistel, IX; type Ch^todon punctatus L.). A substitute for Drepane 

 Cuv., regarded as preoccupied by Drepane or Drepana Schranck. It has 

 priority over Harpochirus Cantor (1849). 



Secutor Gistel, IX; orthotype Sparus insidiator (Bloch). A substitute for 

 Equula Cuv., but with a different type. Has priority over Deveximentum 

 Fowler, if this subgenus is distinct from Leiognathus Lac
