Rhombus Lacepède [B. G. E.] 1800:321 Masc. Chaetodon alepidotus Linnaeus 1766. Type by monotypy. Treated in the past as objectively invalid; preoccupied by Rhombus da Costa 1776 in Mollusca and by Rhombus Walbaum 1792 in fishes, but both of those genera were published in works that are non-binomial; so this genus is regarded as available from Lacepède 1800. •In the synonymy of Peprilus Cuvier 1829 -- (Horn 1970:170 [ref. 7749], Castro-Aguirre et al. 1999:464 [ref. 24550]). 1°Homonym. Current status: Uncertain as Peprilus Cuvier 1829. Stromateidae.
