Butigobius Whitley [G. P.] 1930:123 Masc. Lebistes scorpioides Smitt 1899 (= Gobius scorpioides Collett 1874). Type by being a replacement name. Unneeded replacement for Lebistes [sic] Smitt 1899, not preoccupied by Lebistes Fillipi 1862 in fishes. Whitley took the apparent preoccupation from Jordan 1920:487 [ref. 4905], but Jordan's entry in error for Lebetus Winther. •Objective synonym of Lebetus Winther 1877 -- (Miller 1973:498 [ref. 6888]). Current status: Synonym of Lebetus Winther 1877. Oxudercidae: Gobionellinae.
