Orthragoriscus Bloch [M. E.] & Schneider [J. G.] 1801:510 Masc. Tetraodon mola Linnaeus 1758. Type by subsequent designation. According to Parenti 2003:2 [ref. 27311], Orthragoriscus Bloch & Schneider 1801 was spelled Orthragoriascus by early authors, who regarded original as misprinted, but spelled Orthragoriscus on pp. lvii, 510, plate 97 and on p. 583. The type-species of Orthragus Rafinesque 1810 was first designated by Bory de Saint-Vincent, v. 12, 1827:503 [ref. 3853] (see Whitley 1935:137 [ref. 6396]); although Bory de Saint Vincent spelled the genus as Ostragus, it is clear he was referring to Rafinesque's genus. Also appeared as new (credited to Gmelin but sensu Plinius) in Billberg 1833:53 [ref. 34146]; see Kullander 2016:110 [ref. 34147]. •Objective synonym of Mola Koelreuter 1766 -- (Fraser-Brunner 1943:8 [ref. 1495], Tortonese 1973:649 [ref. 7192], Parenti 2003:2 [ref. 27311]). Current status: Synonym of Mola Koelreuter 1766. Molidae.
