First appeared in synonymy in Spix and Agassiz as above, but made available back to that authorship and date because of use as a valid name by Bleeker 1862:10 [ref. 393]; Bleeker included one species lima and designated it type. Treated as masculine, Art. 30.2.4. Spelled Sorubium by Swainson 1838. •Valid as Sorubim Agassiz 1829 -- (Stewart 1986:668 [ref. 5211], Burgess 1989:282 [ref. 12860], Lundberg et al. 1991:842 [ref. 19175], de Pinna 1998:314 [ref. 23847], Britski et al. 1999:105 [ref. 24147], Littmann et al. 2000:901 [ref. 25063]). •See Kottelat 1988:80 who dates to Cuvier 1829. •Synonym of Sorubim Cuvier 1829 -- (Lundberg & Littmann in Reis et al. 2003:442 [ref. 27061], Littmann 2007:2 [ref. 29028] as Spix and Agassiz, Ferraris 2007:342 [ref. 29155] with authorship as Spix & Agassiz, Grant 2021:127 [ref. 38702]). Current status: Synonym of Sorubim Cuvier 1829. Pimelodidae: Sorubiminae.

Sorubim Cuvier [G.] 1829:293 Masc. Silurus lima Bloch & Schneider 1801. Type by subsequent designation. See analysis by Kottelat 1988:78, 80 [ref. 13380] who indicates that Sorubim Cuvier predates Sorubim Agassiz 1829. Kottelat regards the type as designated by Bleeker 1862:10, but perhaps technically that is incorrect since Bleeker was designating the type for Sorubim "Spix" [= Agassiz]; subsequent type designation for Sorubim Cuvier perhaps first dates to Kottelat 1988. •Valid as Sorubim Cuvier 1829 -- (Littmann et al. 2001:87 [ref. 25810], Lundberg & Littmann in Reis et al. 2003:442 [ref. 27061], Littmann 2007:2 [ref. 29028], Ferraris 2007:342 [ref. 29155], Lundberg et al. 2011:169 [ref. 31593], Ohara & Neuhaus 2016:291 [ref. 34536], Bertaco et al. 2016:420 [ref. 34561], Grant 2021:127 [ref. 38702], Torrico-Destre et al. 2024:134 [ref. 41874]).

Sorubimichthys Bleeker [P.] 1862:10 Masc. Sorubim jandia Spix 1829. Type by original designation (also monotypic). Bleeker designated the type as "Sorubim jandia Spix"; this corresponds to Sorubim spatula Spix & Agassiz in text (p. 26) (See Whitehead & Myers 1971 [ref. 6584]; also Lundberg et al. 1989:333 [ref. 12544]). Technically, jandia was a Spix name first published in synonymy (and on pl. 14, if not considered a vernacular), but it was validated to Agassiz 1829 by its use as a valid name by Bleeker. •Valid as Sorubimichthys Bleeker 1862 -- (Lundberg et al. 1989 [ref. 12544], Burgess 1989:282 [ref. 12860], Lundberg et al. 1991:842 [ref. 19175], de Pinna 1998:314 [ref. 23847], Lundberg & Littmann in Reis et al. 2003:442 [ref. 27061], Ferraris 2007:342 [ref. 29155], Lundberg et al. 2011:165 [ref. 31593], Grant 2021:135 [ref. 38702], Torrico-Destre et al. 2024:144 [ref. 41874]).
