Acestrorhamphus Eigenmann [C. H.] & Kennedy [C. H.] 1903:527 Masc. Hydrocyon hepsetus Cuvier 1829. Type by monotypy. Also appeared in Eigenmann 1903 (Dec.):146 [ref. 1218]. •Synonym of Oligosarcus Günther 1864, but a valid subgenus Acestrorhamphus -- (Géry 1977:326 [ref. 1597]). •Synonym of Oligosarcus Günther 1964 -- (Braga 1994:15 [ref. 27878], Menezes in Reis et al. 2003:151 [ref. 27061]). Current status: Synonym of Oligosarcus Günther 1864. Acestrorhamphidae: Acestrorhamphinae.
