236 THE GENERA OF FISHES, PART II 



Furo Gistel, IX; type (Eugnathus orthostomus Ag. fossil). Substitute for 

 EuGNATHUs Ag. regarded as preoccupied by Eugnatha, a genus of spiders. 



Notacmon Gistel, IX; type (Eurynotus crenatus Ag. fossil). Substitute for 

 EuRYNOTUs Ag., preoccupied by a genus of beetles (Kirby, 1817). 



Podager Gistel. IX; logotype Gerres waigiensis Q. & G. Name a substitute for 

 Gerres, regarded as preoccupied by Gerris Fabricius, a genus of insects. 

 But Podager is itself preoccupied in birds, and if a new name is needed, it 

 must give place to Catoch.^num Cantor (1849). But the root words, 

 Gerris and Gerres, are different. 



Synergus Gistel, IX; orthotype (Megalurus lepidotus Ag. fossil). A substitute 

 for Megalurus Ag. preoccupied in mammals, but Synergus is preoccupied 

 also by Synergus Hartig, 1840, a genus of Hymenoptera, and Megalurus 

 may be replaced by Urocles Jordan as already indicated. 



Ellops Gistel, IX, type (Acipenser helops Pallas). A substitute for Helops, 

 eX^oii) being the original Greek form. 



Apeches Gistel, IX; logotype Johnius, carutta B1. & Schn. A substitute for 

 Johnius, a name regarded as objectionable. In general Gistel offers a sub- 

 stitute for all personal names everywhere except among plants and the lowest 

 animals. 



Neanis Gistel, IX; type (Labrus julis L.). Name a substitute for Julis Guv., 

 regarded as preoccupied by JULUS L., a genus of myriapods. But the two 

 names are of entirely distinct origin. 



Exoles Gistel, IX; type (Squalus nasus Bonnaterre). A substitute for Lamia 

 Bon., itself a synonym of Lamna Guv. 



Apepton Gistel, IX; orthotype Lepadogaster piger Nardo. A needless synommi 

 of GouANiA Nardo, a personal name. 



Anepistomon Gistel, IX; type (Leptorynchus capensis Smith). A substitute for 

 Leptorhynchus Smith, preoccupied. A synonym of Ophisurus, as restricted. 



Spanius Gistel. IX; type (Leptosoma atra Nardo). Name a substitute for Lepto- 

 soma, preoccupied ; probably a synonym of Monochirus Raf. "Soglio bastardo". 



Encrotes Gistel, IX ; type Cyprinodon variegatus Lac. A substitute for Lebia 

 or Lebias Cuv. on account of the name Lebia Latreille, 1802, an earlier name 

 wrongly attributed to Bonaparte. But Lebia Cuv. (later written Lebias) 

 is a synonym of Cyprinodon Lac. 



Maina Gitsel, IX; type (Sparus chcerorhynchus B1. & Schn.). Name a substitute 

 for Lethrinus Cuv. unreasonably regarded as preoccupied by Lethrus 

 Fabricius, a genus of beetles. 



Massaria Gistel, IX ; type Cyclopterus liparis L. A needless substitute for 

 LiPARis, used in Botany. 



Pedites Gistel, IX (Macropodus viridiauratus Lac). Name a substitute for 

 Macropodus Lac. corrected by Giinther as Mackopus, in that form preoccu- 

 pied by Macropus Thunberg, a genus of beetles. Perhaps to be adopted as 

 the roots are the same and Macropodus an incorrect form. 



Paschalestes Gistel, IX; type (Macquaria australasica Cuv. & Val. Substitute 

 for Macquaria Cuv. & Val., rejected, as a personal name. 



Englottogaster Gistel, IX ; type Oreinus guttatus McCl. Substitute for Oreinus 

 McCl., regarded as preoccupied in beetles as Oreina. But the generic value 

 of Oreinus is doubtful.
