Camarina Ayres [W. O.] 1860:81 Fem. Camarina nigricans Ayres 1860. Type by monotypy. •Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Current status: Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Girellidae.

Doydixodon used by authors (e.g., Kner & Steindachner 1867:358 [ref. 2640], Pequeño & Sáez 2008:101 [ref. 30076]).

Epelytes Evermann [B. W.] & Radcliffe [L.] 1917:71 Masc. Epelytes punctatus Evermann & Radcliffe 1917. Type by original designation (also monotypic).

Girellichthys (subgenus of Girella) Klunzinger [C. B.] 1872:22 Masc. Crenidens zebra of Steindachner (? = Crenidens zebra Richardson 1846). Type by monotypy. Single included species as "Girella (Girellichthys) zebra (Rich.?) Steindachner." Neotephraeops Castelnau 1872 is an objective synonym; apparently Girellichthys appeared slightly earlier in 1872. •Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Current status: Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Girellidae.

Girellipiscis Whitley [G. P.] 1931:320 Masc. Girella elevata Macleay 1881. Type by original designation (also monotypic). •Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Current status: Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Girellidae.

Guichenotia Whitley [G. P.] 1950:44 Fem. Glyphodes aprionoides Guichenot 1863. Type by being a replacement name. Replacement for Glyphodes Guichenot 1863, preoccupied in Lepidoptera [details not investigated]. Current status: Uncertain. Girellidae.

Incisidens Gill [T. N.] 1862:244 Masc. Crenidens simplex Richardson 1848. Type by monotypy. •Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Current status: Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Girellidae.

Iredalella Whitley [G. P.] 1931:320 Fem. Girella cyanea Macleay 1881. Type by original designation (also monotypic). •Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Current status: Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Girellidae.

Melambaphes Günther [A.] 1863:115 Masc. Glyphidodon nigroris of Günther (not of Cuvier) 1883. Type by monotypy. Apparently based on a misidentified type species, not Glyphidodon nigroris Cuvier in Cuvier & Valenciennes, but is the species later named Melambaphes guentheri Gill 1863. Correct spelling for genus of type species is Glyphisodon. •Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Current status: Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Girellidae.

Melanychthys Temminck [C. J.] & Schlegel [H.] 1844:75 Masc. Crenidens melanichthys Richardson 1846. Original description without species. Richardson 1846:243 [ref. 3742] described Crenidens melanichthys but did not recognize Melanychthys. In a footnote under Melanichthes, Temminck & Schlegel 1850:317 [ref. 4375] list Richardson's species, and this can constitute type by subsequent monotypy. Often spelled Melanichthys, but original was Melanychthys. •Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Current status: Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Girellidae.

Neotephraeops Castelnau [F. L.] 1872:68 Masc. Crenidens zebra Richardson 1846. Type by monotypy. Neotephrops is a misspelling. •Objective synonym of Girellichthys Klunzinger 1872. •Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Current status: Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Girellidae.

Pinguilabrum Hildebrand [S. F.] 1946:168 Neut. Epelytes punctatus Evermann & Radcliffe 1917. Type by being a replacement name.

Current status: Synonym of Graus Philippi 1887. Girellidae.

Tephraeops Günther [A.] 1859:413, 431 Masc. Crenidens tephraeops Richardson 1846. Type by absolute tautonymy. Species tephraeops needlessly renamed T. richardsoni by Günther; second species also included. •Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Current status: Synonym of Girella Gray 1835. Girellidae.
