Paralepis Cuvier [G.] 1816:xi, 289 Fem. Paralepis coregonoides Risso 1820. Type by subsequent designation. Not included species, reference to Risso names. First addition of species evidently by Risso 1820; type usually given as by subsequent designation of Jordan 1917:104, 120 [ref. 2407]. If regarded as not latinized in Cuvier 1816, then dates to Bosc 1817:59. Type perhaps designated first by Desmarest 1856:209 [ref. 17401] -- see Whitley 1939:222 [ref. 25866] but Whitley has wrong date for Desmarst. •Valid as Paralepis Cuvier 1816 -- (Post 1973:203 [ref. 7182], Post in Whitehead et al. 1984:503 [ref. 13675], Fujii in Masuda et al. 1984:76 [ref. 6441], Post 1986:277 [ref. 5705], Post 1987:109 [ref. 6225], Paxton et al. 1989:247 [ref. 12442], Paxton & Niem 1999:1949 [ref. 24746], Sato & Nakabo 2002:44 [ref. 25953], Thompson 2003:934 [ref. 27003], Lipej & Dulčić 2010:24 [ref. 36649], Mecklenburg et al. 2011:119 [ref. 31212], Fricke et al. 2018:74 [ref. 35805]).
