GENUS Callorhinchus Lacepède, 1798 - elephantfishes [=Callorhinchus Lacepède [B. G. E.] (ex Gronow), 1798:400, Callorhyncus Fleming [J.], 1822:380, Callorynchus Cuvier [G.] (ex Gronow), 1816:140] Notes: [ref. 2708]. Masc. callorynchus Linnaeus, 1758. Type by monotypy. Subsequently described from excellent description by Gronow as Callorhynchus (Cuvier 1829:382) and Callorhincus (Duméril 1806:104); unjustifiably emended (from Gronow 1754) by Agassiz 1846:60 [ref. 64] to Callirhynchus. •Valid as Callorhinchus Lacepède, 1798 -- (Nakamura et al. 1986:58 [ref. 14235], Compagno 1986:147 [5648], Paxton et al. 1989:98 [ref. 12442], Gomon et al. 1994:190 [ref. 22532] as Callorhynchus, Didier 1995:14 [ref. 22713], Paxton et al. 2006:50 [ref. 28994], Gomon 2008:147 [ref. 30616], Di Dario et al. 2011:546 [ref. 31478]). Current status: Valid as Callorhinchus Lacepède, 1798. Callorhinchidae. (Callorhyncus) [ref. 5063]. Masc. Callorhyncus antarcticus Fleming (not of Lay & Bennett 1839), 1822. Type by monotypy. Perhaps best considered an unjustified emendation of Callorhincus Lacepède; virtually no distinguishing features presented, and none for independent of that for . •Synonym of Callorhinchus Lacepède, 1798. Current status: Synonym of Callorhinchus Lacepède, 1798. Callorhinchidae. (Callorynchus) [ref. 993]. Masc. Chimaera callorhynchus Linnaeus, 1758. Type by monotypy. The one included species given as "La Chimère antarctique (Chimaera callorynchus L)." •Synonym of Callorhinchus Lacepède, 1798; both being based on Gronow 1754 (pre-Linnaean). Current status: Synonym of Callorhinchus Lacepède, 1798. Callorhinchidae.

(species)

Callorhynchus antarcticus Lay [G. T.] & Bennett [E. T.], 1839:75 [The zoology of Captain Beechey's voyage; ref. 2730] Locality unknown. No types known. Minimal description. Objectively invalid; preoccupied by Callorhynchus antarcticus Fleming, 1822 and Callorhynchus antarcticus Schinz, 1822 (earliest not researched). Current status: Synonym of Callorhinchus. Callorhinchidae. Habitat: marine.

Chimaera australis Shaw [G.], 1804:368, Pls. 157 (top), 158, 158+ [General zoology or systematic natural history; ref. 4015] Southern Seas. No types known. Based on Chimaera callorhynchus and other literature sources. Probably same as Callorhynchus australis Owen, 1852. If so and if Shaw's name is valid, it would have priority over Callorhinchus milii Bory de Saint-Vincent, 1823. Callorhinchidae. Habitat: marine.
