Motella Cuvier [G.] 1829:334 Fem. Gadus mustela Linnaeus 1758. Type by monotypy. Jordan 1917:131 [ref. 2407] regards as a replacement for Mustela Cuvier 1816, but there is no internal evidence that it was proposed technically as a replacement name. •Synonym of Gaidropsarus Rafinesque 1810 -- (Svetovidov 1973:318 [ref. 7169], Svetovidov 1986:4 [ref. 8033]).

Technical addition of species not researched; type usually given as by tautonymy. Objectively invalid; preoccupied by Mustel Linnaeus 1758 in Mammalia, Motella Cuvier 1829 is available with same type. Often written Mustela. •In the synonymy of Gaidropsarus Rafinesque 1810 -- (Svetovidov 1973:318 [ref. 7169], Svetovidov 1986:4 [ref. 8033]). 1°Homonym.

Current status: Synonym of Gaidropsarus Rafinesque 1810. Gaidropsaridae.

Onus Agassiz [L.] 1846:259 Masc. Onos mustella of Risso 1827 (= Gadus mediterraneus Linnaeus 1758). Type by subsequent designation.
