Type catalog: Wheeler 1985:48 [ref. 20705]. Type information: Goode & Bean 1885:202 [ref. 1841]. Based on 'Blackfish' in manuscript description and 1 specimen sent by A. Garden [South Carolina]. •Synonym of Centropristis striata (Linnaeus 1758) -- (Parenti & Randall 2020:111 [ref. 37354]). Current status: Synonym of Centropristis striata (Linnaeus 1758). Serranidae. Habitat: marine.

atrarius, Lutjanus Suckow [G. A.] 1799:547 [Naturgeschichte der Thiere v. 4, pt. 1; ref. 18858] New combination for Perca atraria Linnaeus 1766; not an original description. •In the synonymy of Centropristis striata (Linnaeus 1758) -- (Parenti & Randall 2020:111 [ref. 37354]). Current status: Synonym of Centropristis striata (Linnaeus 1758). Serranidae.

furva, Perca Walbaum [J. J.] (ex Schöpf) 1792:336 [Petri Artedi sueci genera piscium Part 3; ref. 4572] Nova Eburacum [New York, U.S.A.]. No types known. Based on 'Perca, Blackfish, in Neu York' in Schöpf 1788:164 [ref. 18700]. •Synonym of Centropristis striata (Linnaeus 1758) -- (Smith 1986:420 [ref. 22186] as fulva, Parenti & Randall 2020:111 [ref. 37354]). Current status: Synonym of Centropristis striata (Linnaeus 1758). Serranidae. Habitat: marine.

melanus, Centropristes Ginsburg [I.] 1952:84, Fig. 1 [Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences v. 42 (no. 3); ref. 1805] Newport, near Wakulla, Florida, U.S.A. Holotype: FMNH 33719. Paratypes: FMNH 33717-18 (1, 1), 33720-23 (1, 1, 1, 1); USNM 21483 (1), 73009 (1), 92232 (1), 106990 (2). Type catalog: Ibarra & Stewart 1987:21 [ref. 12367]. Centropristis is feminine, so correct is probably Centropristes melana when recognized. Mentioned as sometimes treated as a subspecies of striata by Heemstra et al. 2003:1334 [ref. 27060]. Original genus should have been Centropristis. •Synonym of Centropristis striata (Linnaeus 1758), but a valid subspecies -- (Bortone 1977:23 [ref. 7059]). •Synonym of Centropristis striata (Linnaeus 1758) -- (Heemstra et al. 2003:1334 [ref. 27060], Parenti & Randall 2020:111 [ref. 37354]). Current status: Synonym of Centropristis striata (Linnaeus 1758). Serranidae. Habitat: marine.

Type catalog: Paepke 1999:134-135 [ref. 24282] with a holotype. Apparently based on Schöpf description and on one specimen; technically ZMB 8168 probably should be selected as the lectotype. •Synonym of Centropristis striata (Linnaeus 1758) -- (Smith 1986:420 [ref. 22186], Parenti & Randall 2020:111 [ref. 37354]). Current status: Synonym of Centropristis striata (Linnaeus 1758). Serranidae. Habitat: marine.
