Unavailable names, uncertain taxa

(genera)

Lepipterus Rafinesque [C. S.] 1815:85 [ref. 3584]. Masc. Not available, name only. Type designation (Stromateus fiatola Linnaeus 1758:248) by Fowler 1936:671 [ref. 6546] invalid; not recognized by Fowler as a valid genus. Stromateidae.

Rhombus Lacepède [B. G. E.] 1800:321 [ref. 2709]. Masc. Chaetodon alepidotus Linnaeus 1766. Type by monotypy. Treated in the past as objectively invalid; preoccupied by Rhombus da Costa 1776 in Mollusca and by Rhombus Walbaum 1792 in fishes, but both of those genera were published in works that are non- binomial; so this genus is regarded as available from Lacepède 1800. •In the synonymy of Peprilus Cuvier 1829 -- (Horn 1970:170 [ref. 7749], Castro-Aguirre et al. 1999:464 [ref. 24550]). Current status: Uncertain as Peprilus Cuvier 1829. Stromateidae.

(species) cumarca, Stromateus Molina [J. I.] 1782:226 [Saggio sulla storia naturale del Chile, del Signor Abate Giovanni Ignazio Molina.; ref. 17783] Chile. No types known. Apparently spelled cimarca in Molina 1809:153 [ref. 17784], as cumarca in Molina 1809:186 [ref. 17784] Stromateidae. Habitat: marine. figa, Stromateus Nardo [G. D.] (ex Chiereghini) 1847:col. 115 [Sinonimia moderna delle specie registrate nell' opera intitolata: ...; ref. 17994] Not available, Chiereghini name mentioned in synonymy of Stromateus fiatola Linnaeus 1758. Stromateidae. immaculatus, Stromateus Larrañaga [D. A.] 1923:375, 382 [Escritos de Don Dámaso Antonio Larrañaga v. 2; ref. 22561] Uruguay. Also appeared in Devincenzi 1925:297, 300, 322 [ref. 20322]; Devincenzi treated as a synonym of Stromateus paru Linnaeus 1758. Current status: Synonym of Stromateus. Stromateidae. Habitat: marine. maculatus, Stromateus Forster [J. R.] 1794:131 [Die Neuesten Reisen nach der Botany Bay; ref. 22555] Botany Bay, Australia. No types known. Name not in current literature but cited in Whitley 1935:223 [ref. 4683]. Original as Stromateus? maculatus. Whitley regards as unidentifiable, possibly an ally of Platycephalus, Serriolella, or perhaps a young Coryphaena. McDowall 1976:490 [ref. 32873] lists this as a nomen nudum and dates to 1792 [the Vienna edition predates the German edition]. •Incertae sedis in Centrolophiidae -- (Hoese & Bray 2006:1792 [ref. 29000] dated 1792). •Nomen dubium -- (McDowall 1976:490 [ref. 32873]) Habitat: marine. maculatus, Stromateus Larrañaga [D. A.] 1923:382 [Escritos de Don Dámaso Antonio Larrañaga v. 2; ref. 22561] Uruguay. Also appeared in Devincenzi 1925:299, 321 [ref. 20322]; Devincenzi regarded as a synonym. Apparently independent of, and preoccupied by Stromateus maculatus Cuvier 1833; objectively invalid. Stromateidae. Habitat: marine. microchirus, Centrolophus Bonelli [F. A.] 1819:pl. Mediterranean Sea. Syntypes: ?MNHN 0000-1472 (2) coll. Bonelli. Type catalog: Le Danois 1963:231 [ref. 21543] dating to Cuvier 1833. Spelled michochirus by Cuvier in Cuvier & Valenciennes 1833:416 [ref. 1002] but spelled microchirus on Pl. 276. Stromateidae. Habitat: marine.
