Citula Cuvier [G.] 1816:315 Fem. Citula banksii Risso 1820. Type by subsequent monotypy. Appeared first without included species, one species added by Risso 1820. Treated as a possible senior synonym of Carangoides (e.g., by Smith-Vaniz 1986:641 [ref. 5718]) but with wrong type. With type as above, Citula would be a senior synonym of Pseudocaranx, and the ICZN should be petitioned to conserve Pseudocaranx -- (Smith-Vaniz & Jelks 2006:98 [ref. 28900]). Current status: Synonym of Pseudocaranx Bleeker 1863. Carangidae: Caranginae.
