Coracinus Gronow [L. T.] 1763:66 Masc. Apparently not available, published in a rejected work (Opinions 89 and 261). According to Fowler (MS), the correct genus is Dichistius Gill 1888, a replacement for Dipterodon Cuvier, preoccupied; family should be Dichistiidae. Fowler's treatment is similar to that of J.L.B. Smith 1935 [ref. 13662], but not J.L.B. Smith 1945:248 [ref. 5846] where Coracinus is used. •Treated as valid by Johnson 1984:464 [ref. 9681] and M.M. Smith 1986:601 [ref. 5712]. •In the synonymy of Dichistius Gill 1888 -- (Leis & van der Lingen 1997:100 [ref. 23161]). Suppressed. Current status: Synonym of Dichistius Gill 1888. Dichistiidae.
