Harpodon Cuvier [G.] 1829:footnote on 314 Masc. Salmo microps Lesueur 1825. Original genus should have been Harpadon. Apparently an incorrect subsequent spelling of Harpadon Lesueur 1825, misquoted by Cuvier as Harpodon. •In the synonymy of Harpadon Lesueur 1825 -- (Kottelat 2013:270 [ref. 32989]).

Current status: Synonym of Synodus Scopoli 1777. Synodontidae: Synodontinae.

Newtonscottia (subgenus of Synodus) Whitley [G. P.] 1937:219 Fem. Synodus houlti McCulloch 1921.

Salmosaurus Minding [J.] 1832:120 Masc. Salmosaurus lacerta Minding 1832. Apparently an unneeded new name for Saurus Cuvier 1816. •In the synonymy of Synodus Scopoli 1777. Current status: Synonym of Synodus Scopoli 1777. Synodontidae: Synodontinae.

Saurida Valenciennes [A.] in Cuvier & Valenciennes 1850:499 Fem. Salmo tumbil Bloch 1795. Type by subsequent designation.
