Scaphirhynchus Heckel [J. J.] 1836:71 Masc. Scaphirhynchus rafinesquii Heckel 1836. Type by monotypy. Appeared twice (earliest not researched); as above and as Heckel in Müller 1836:77, footnote [ref. 3060]. Several variant spellings and misprints. Scaphirhynchops Gill 1863 is an unneeded replacement, Scaphirhynchus not preoccupied. •Valid as Scaphirhynchus Heckel 1836 -- (Bailey & Cross 1954 [ref. 5358], Williams & Clemmer 1991 [ref. 19118], Mayden & Kuhajda 1996:241 [ref. 22395], Bemis et al. 1997:37 [ref. 22871], Birstein et al. 2002:287 [ref. 26021], Scott 2003:671 [ref. 26987], Brownstein & Near 2025:15 [ref. 42105]).

Apparently an unneeded replacement for Scaphirhynchus Heckel 1836 (not preoccupied by Scaphorhynchus Wied 1831 in Aves), but this is unclear from text (see also Platygobio, apparently not proposed as a replacement name in the same list). If a replacement name then type is rafinesquii Heckel. See Bailey & Cross 1954:174 [ref. 5358] for variant spellings. •Synonym of Scaphirhynchus Heckel 1836 -- (Brownstein & Near 2025:15 [ref. 42105]).

Actual is: "Sterleta: Acipenser rostro fubulato, recto, diametro oris quadruplo longiore; cirris vix ori propioribus; labiis integris." Two other similar taxa (Schypa and Seuruga) also appear on p. 533. Not available, not a genus-group name but a species-group name. •In the synonymy of Huso Lovetsky 1834. •In the synonymy of Sterletus Rafinesque 1820 -- (Kottelat & Freyhof 2025:546 [ref. 42352]). •In the synonymy of Acipenser Linnaeus 1758.

Sterletae Brandt [J. F.] & Ratzeburg [J. T. C.] 1833:3, 349 Masc. Acipenser ruthenus Linnaeus 1758. Type by monotypy. As a group within Acipenser [apparently a vernacular, plural of Sterleta and not available (ICZN Art. 11.8)], also in Nachträge zu Band II, p. 349. If available, then objectively invalid; preoccupied by Sterletus Rafinesque 1820 in fishes. Also spelled Sterleta and Sterledus. •In the synonymy of Sterletus Rafinesque 1820 -- (Kottelat & Freyhof 2025:546 [ref. 42352]). •In the synonymy of Huso Lovetsky 1834. •In the synonymy of Acipenser Linnaeus 1758. 1°Homonym.

Sterletus (subgenus of Acipenser) Rafinesque [C. S.] 1820:248 Masc. Accipenser serotimus Rafinesque 1820. Type by subsequent designation. Also appeared in Rafinesque 1820:80 (Dec.) [ref. 3592]. Type designated by Jordan & Gilbert 1877:87 [ref. 4907] as Accipenser sterletus in error, first species mentioned is Accipenser serotimus. Jordan 1917:113 [ref. 2407] has Acipenser serotinus Rafinesque 1820 as type. Rafinesque's use of the spelling Accipenser for the subgenus is an unjustified emendation or misspelling. •Synonym of Huso Lovetsky 1834. •Valid as Sterletus Rafinesque 1820 -- (Kottelat & Freyhof 2025:541 [ref. 42352]). •Synonym of Acipenser Linnaeus 1758.

Sturio Rafinesque [C. S.] 1810:41, 58 Masc. Sturio vulgaris Rafinesque 1810 (= Acipenser sturio Linnaeus 1758). Type by monotypy. Rafinesque's vulgaris is an unneeded substitute for sturio Linnaeus. •Objective synonym of Acipenser Linnaeus 1758. Current status: Synonym of Acipenser Linnaeus 1758. Acipenseridae.
