Aphredoderus Lesueur [C. A.] in Cuvier & Valenciennes 1833:445 Masc. Aphredoderus gibbosus Lesueur 1833. Type by monotypy. Incorrect subsequent spellings in early literature include Aphrodederus, Aspredoderus, Aphrodedirus, Aphododirus, and Aphredodirus (e.g. Cope 1870:455 [ref. 913]). Aphododerus Jordan 1877:52 [ref. 2374] is an unjustified emendation and is available (see Aphododerus); see Poly 2004:2 [ref. 27585] for more detail. Kottelat 2013:349 says text explicitly written by Valencienes (needs checking). •Valid as Aphredoderus Lesueur 1833 -- (Boltz & Stauffer 1993 [ref. 20308], Jenkins & Burkhead 1994:593 [ref. 21581], Poly 2004:2 [ref. 27585], Scharpf 2006:35 [ref. 30386], Kottelat 2013:349 [ref. 32989], Muller & Simons 2024:82 [ref. 40853]).
