Cheilodipterus Lacepède [B. G. E.] 1801:539 Masc. Cheilodipterus lineatus Lacepède 1801. Type by subsequent designation. Apparently earliest type designation is by Jordan 1917:63 [ref. 2407]; type not established by Cuvier 1828:162 [ref. 997] as sometimes given, nor by Jordan & Evermann 1896:1112 [ref. 2443].
