Thryssa Cuvier [G.] 1829:323 Fem. Clupea setirostris Broussonet 1782. type by subsequent designation. Type by subsequent designation of Jordan, 1917:98 [ref. 2407]. Considered by some authors as a new spelling for Thrissa Cuvier 1816, preoccupied by Thrissa Rafinesque 1815 in fishes (see Whitehead 1967:140 [ref. 6464]), and if regarded as such then type would be same as for Thrissa Cuvier (Clupea mystus Linnaeus 1758). Here regarded as independent of Thrissa Cuvier 1816, for the sake of stability. •Synonym of Thrissina Jordan & Seale 1925 -- (Kottelat 2013:56 [ref. 32989] [not followed here]). •Valid as Thryssa Cuvier 1829 -- (Grande 1985:246 [ref. 6466], Whitehead & Wongratana 1986:206 [ref. 6284], Kottelat 1989:6 [ref. 13605], Paxton et al. 1989:161 [ref. 12442], Ataur Rahman 1989:244 [ref. 24860], Allen 1991:47 [ref. 21090], Wongratana et al. 1999:1700 [ref. 24719], Ataur Rahman 2003:268 [ref. 31338], Paxton et al. 2006:316 [ref. 28995], Kimura in Kimura & Yoshino 2009:27 [ref. 30440], Fricke et al. 2009:21 [ref. 30213], Coad 2010:75 [ref. 36620], Jouladeh-Roudbar et al. 2015:860 [ref. 34062], Fricke et al. 2018:52 [ref. 35805], Golani & Fricke 2018:32 [ref. 36273], Fricke et al. 2019:56 [ref. 36673]).
