Syntypes: (3) whereabouts unknown. Type catalog: Ferraris 2007:90 [ref. 29155]. Apparently available as above; see Pimelodus corsula Hamilton 1822. Day notes, "Hamilton Buchanan has given an engraving of this species; but the description was omitted from the `Fishes of the Ganges.'" But name apparently dates to Valenciennes 1840 (see Ng & Ferraris 2000:132 [ref. 25041], Ferraris 2007:89 [ref. 29155]). •Synonym of Hemibagrus menoda (Hamilton 1822) -- (Ataur Rahman 2003:219 [ref. 31338], Ferraris 2007:90 [ref. 29155]). 1°Homonym.

corsula, Pimelodus Hamilton [F.] 1822:no page number, Pl. 1 (fig. 72) [An account of the fishes found in the river Ganges; ref. 2031] India. No types known. The typeset name on the plate was Mugil corsula, corrected by errata bound with plates of CAS copy as, "Plate I. for Mugil corsula read Pimelodus; the Mugil corsula being delineated Plate IX. fig. 97." It could be argued that Hamilton just identified the figure to genus, in which case the specific name is not available; Hamilton did not describe a Pimelodus with the name corsula in the text (1822) [but P. menoda (p. 203, 279) might be the corresponding species]. If Pimelodus corsula is not regarded as available from Hamilton 1822, Pl. 1, then the name dates Valenciennes 1840 as Bagrus corsula (see Ng & Ferraris 2000:130 [ref. 25041], Ferraris 2007:89 [ref. 29155]). Neotype designated for Bagrus corsula by Ng & Ferraris 2000:130 [ref. 25041]. •Synonym of Hemibagrus menoda (Hamilton 1822) -- (Ng & Ferraris 2000:130 [ref. 25041], Ferraris 2007:89 [ref. 29155]). •See Bagrus corsula Valenciennes 1840.
