Lactoria (subgenus of Ostracion) Jordan [D. S.] & Fowler [H. W.] 1902:278, 279 Fem. Ostracion cornutus Linnaeus 1758. Type by original designation. Description in key as a subgenus. Tetragonizus Billberg 1833 is a senior synonym (see Kullander 2016:110 [ref. 34147]), but Lactoria Jordan & Fowler 1902 is in prevailing usage and therefore here used as the valid name for the genus. •Valid as Lactoria Jordan & Fowler 1902 -- (Tyler 1980:239 [ref. 4477], Arai 1983:203 [ref. 14249], Matsuura in Masuda et al. 1984:362 [ref. 6441], Smith 1986:891 [ref. 5712], Lindberg et al. 1997:106 [ref. 23547], Matsuura 2001:3949 [ref. 26317], Parin 2003:S34 [ref. 28536], Allen et al. 2006:1905 [ref. 29090], Matsuura 2014:17 [ref. 33576], Parin et al. 2014:552 [ref. 33547], Stewart & Roberts 2015:1727 [ref. 34322], Motomura et al. 2017:235 [ref. 35490], Fricke et al. 2018:382 [ref. 35805], Golani & Fricke 2018:180 [ref. 36273], Fricke et al. 2019:329 [ref. 36673]).
