Centronotus Lacepède [B. G. E.] 1801:309 Masc. Centronotus conductor Lacepède 1801 (= Gasterosteus ductor Linnaeus 1758). Type by subsequent designation. Type designated by Jordan & Evermann 1896:900 [ref. 2443]. Lacepède cited G. conductor L. (sic, for ductor) in synonymy; and this suggests he did not intend a new species name, conductor could be regarded as a misspelling. See also Opinion 1799. Also objectively invalid; preoccupied by Centronotus Bloch & Schneider 1801 in fishes. •Synonym of Naucrates Rafinesque 1810 -- (Hureau & Tortonese 1973:377 [ref. 7198]). 1°Homonym.
