Species in the genus Roeboexodon: [ 2 ] records

geryi, Roeboexodon Myers [G. S.] 1960:209 [Stanford Ichthyological Bulletin v. 7 (no. 4); ref. 3129] Maroni Basin, French Guiana. Holotype: MNHN 1958-0038. Paratypes: Géry priv. coll. (6). Based on Exodon guyanensis of Géry 1959 [ref. 1579] (not of Puyo). Géry 1959:347 [ref. 1579] named a neotype for Puyo's Exodon guyanensis, and that is the holotype of Roeboexodon geryi Myers 1960; guyanensis and Myer's geryi are automatically the same species; a species that might diiffer from Puyo's original species (see also Art. 75.6 of the Code). See comments in Lucena & Lucinda in Reis et al. 2003:155-156 [ref. 27061] and Moreira & Lima 2011:315 [ref. 31389]. •Valid as Roeboexodon geryi Myers 1960 -- (Lucena & Lucinda in Reis et al. 2003:155-156 [ref. 27061], Lucena & Lucinda 2004:73 [ref. 27957], Mirande 2010:491 [ref. 31006]). •Synonym of Roeboexodon guyanensis (Puyo 1948) -- (Moreira & Lima 2011:313 [ref. 31389], Mol et al. 2012:287 [ref. 32867], Lucena & Santos 2024:269 [ref. 40817]). Current status: Synonym of Roeboexodon guyanensis (Puyo 1948). Characidae: Exodontinae. Habitat: freshwater.

guyanensis, Exodon Puyo [J.] 1948:78 [1], Fig. 1 [Bulletin de la Société d'Histoire Naturelle de Toulouse v. 83 (nos 1-2); ref. 13029] Confluent of Ouaqui and Tampoc, Upper Maroni River, French Guiana. Neotype: MNHN 1959-0038. On p. 1 of separate. Neotype designated by Géry 1959:347 [ref. 1579]; original 3 syntypes apparently lost. See nomenclatural comments in Lucena & Lucinda in Reis et al. 2003:155-156 [ref. 27061]; neotype not regarded as valid by them, but that is probably incorrect since the designation was in 1959 and does not come under the 1999 code. See also Moreira & Lima 2011:315 [ref. 31389] who correctly regard the neotype as valid.. •Species inquirenda -- (Lucena & Lucinda in Reis et al. 2003:155 [ref. 27061]). •Species inquirenda in Characidae -- (Reis et al. 2003:159 [ref. 27061]). •Valid as Roeboexodon guyanensis (Puyo 1948) -- (Géry et al. 1991:44 [ref. 21021], Planquette et al. 1996:318 [ref. 22818], Moreira & Lima 2011:313 [ref. 31389], Borstein et al. 2022:16 [ref. 39507], Lucena & Santos 2024:269 [ref. 40817]). Current status: Valid as Roeboexodon guyanensis (Puyo 1948). Characidae: Exodontinae. Distribution: South America: Amazon, Tocantins, Xingu and Tapajós River basins (Brazil) and Tapanahony River drainage (Suriname). Habitat: freshwater.
