Genera in the family or subfamily Catostomidae: [ 36 ] records

Acomus Girard [C. F.] 1856:173 Masc. Catostomus forsterianus Richardson 1823 (= Cyprinus catostomus Forster 1773). Type by subsequent designation. Type apparently first designated by Bleeker 1863:189 [ref. 397] or 1863:23 [ref. 4859]. Objectively invalid; preoccupied by Acomus Reichenbach 1852 in Aves; apparently not replaced. •Synonym of Catostomus Lesueur 1817 -- (Gilbert 1998:20 [ref. 23395]). 1°Homonym. Current status: Synonym of Catostomus Lesueur 1817. Catostomidae: Catostominae.

Amblodon Rafinesque [C. S.] 1819:421 Masc. Catostomus bubalus Rafinesque 1818. Type by subsequent designation. Type designated by Jordan & Evermann 1896:163 [ref. 2443]. Rafinesque (1819:372 [ref. 7308]) equated Amblodon with Aplodinotus based on erroneous description of dentition in Amblodon, but switched bubalus (type of Amblodon) to a new name Ictiobus (1820:55 [ref. 3592]) (see Bailey & Eschmeyer 1988 [ref. 6624]). Amblyodon Agassiz 1846:16 [ref. 64] is an unjustified emendation. Amblodon was suppressed (for priority) in favor of Ictiobus (Opinion 1582). •Synonym of Ictiobus Rafinesque 1820. Current status: Synonym of Ictiobus Rafinesque 1820. Catostomidae: Ictiobinae.

Bubalichthys Agassiz [L.] 1855:77 Masc. Catostomus niger Rafinesque 1820 (= Amblodon niger Rafinesque 1819). Type by subsequent designation. Type sometimes given as Carpiodes urus Agassiz 1854, but niger was designated by Bleeker 1863:23 [ref. 4859] and Bleeker 1863:191 [ref. 397]. See Hubbs 1930:11 [ref. 5590] for comments on species. Bubalichtys Scudder 1882:45 [ref. 6 462] is a misspelling. •Synonym of Ictiobus Rafinesque 1820 -- (Gilbert 1998:20 [ref. 23395]). Current status: Synonym of Ictiobus Rafinesque 1820. Catostomidae: Ictiobinae.

Chasmistes Jordan [D. S.] 1878:417 Masc. Catostomus fecundus Jordan (not of Cope & Yarrow) 1878 (= Chasmistes liorus Jordan 1878). Type by original designation. First in Jordan 1878 with type in footnote Catostomus fecundus, then in Jordan 1878:219 [ref. 12254] where he recognized that the type was based on a misidentified type species which he renamed C. liorus (see Miller & Smith 1981:5 [ref. 5465]). •Valid as Chasmistes Jordan 1878 -- (Miller & Smith 1981 [ref. 5465], Gilbert 1998:20 [ref. 23395], Scharpf 2006:8 [ref. 30386]). •Synonym of Catastomus Lesueur 1817 -- (Chen & Mayden 2012:195 [ref. 32391]).
