Type designated by Desmarest 1856:246 [ref. 17401] -- see Whitley 1939:224 [ref. 25866] but Whitley has wrong date for Desmarest. Acanthura is a misspelling.

Acanthus Bloch [M. E.] 1795:105 Masc. Apparently just a typesetting error for Acanthurus as used by Bloch on p. 106 and not an original description.

Ctenodon (subgenus of Acanthurus) Klunzinger [C. B.] 1871:509 Masc. Acanthurus strigosus Bennett 1828. Type by monotypy. Not described as new but validates this use of Ctenodon by Bonaparte. Apparently preoccupied by Ctenodon Wagler 1830 in Insecta, preoccupied by Ctenodon Swainson 1839 in fishes. Ctenochaetus Gill 1884 is an available objective synonym. •Synonym of Ctenochaetus Gill 1884 -- (Randall 1955:365 [ref. 13648], Randall & Clements 2001:3 [ref. 25453]).

Kottelat (2013):442 [ref. 32989] emended species name to ruppellii by mistake; not an inadvertent error. •Synonym of Acanthurus Forsskål 1775 -- (Kottelat 2013:442 [ref. 32989]). 1°Homonym. Current status: Synonym of Acanthurus Forsskål 1775. Acanthuridae.

Type designated by Fowler 1904:544 [ref. 1367] as Chaetodon sohol Forsskål; Jordan lists Hapurus fasciatus Forster 1778 as type. However, Forster mentioned Acanthrus of Forsskål on p. 84 establishing Harpurus as a replacement name with the same type as Acanthurus. •Synonym of Acanthurus Forsskål 1775 -- (Randall 1955:363 [ref. 13648], Kottelat 2013:441 [ref. 32989]).
