GILL, Theodore. Note on the fish 

 genera named Macrodon. 



Proc U. S. Nat. Mus., xxvi, No. 1349, July 

 6, 1903, pp. 1015, 1016. 

 The name Macrodon can not be used for the 

 Trahirasol the South American rivers, as has 

 been done since 1812, inasmuch as it had been 

 taken in 1822 by H. R. Schinz for the genus 

 called Ancijlodon by Cuvier. Macrodon Schinz 

 must be adopted in place of Ancijlodon Cuvier 

 (not Illiger 1811), and a new name (Hoplia* i) 

 is proposed as a substitute for the fish genus 

 of Miiller.
