niehofii, Raja Bloch [M. E.] & Schneider [J. G.] (ex Niehof in Willughby) 1801:364 (579) [M. E. Blochii, Systema Ichthyologiae; ref. 471] Muara Angke fish market, Jakarta, Java, Indonesia. Neotype: CSIRO H 4426-13. Spelled nichofii in text but corrected in corrigenda (p. 579) to niehofi. Since authors consistently used the spelling nichofii, that spelling apparently can be continued under the Code. Spelled nieuhofii by Müller & Henle 1841:177 [ref. 3069]. Neotype designated by White et al. 2015:xx [ref. 33897]. Based on a drawing by Johan Nieuhof (1618-1672); reproduced in Willughby 1686: Appendix Pl. 10, fig. 3 [ref. 30164]. Named in honor of J. Nieuhof, so name should read nieuhofi. •Valid as Aetomylaeus nichofii (Bloch & Schneider 1801) [see Remarks] -- (Capapé & Desoutter 1979:305 [ref. 23127], Kyushin et al. 1982:26 [ref. 19754], Nakaya in Masuda et al. 1984:16 [ref. 6441], Allen & Swainston 1988:28 [ref. 25477], Nishida 1990:92 [ref. 19783], Talwar & Jhingran 1991:52 [ref. 20764], Last & Stevens 1994:450 [ref. 23873], Randall 1995:49 [ref. 22896], Allen 1997:48 [ref. 23977], Compagno & Last 1999:1517 [ref. 24637], Vossoughi & Vosoughi 1999:302 [ref. 25467], Compagno 1999:497 [ref. 25589], Nakabo 2000:184 [ref. 25086], Compagno in Randall & Lim 2000:583 [ref. 25122], Hutchins 2001:16 [ref. 25847], Nakabo 2002:184 [ref. 26001], Sujatha 2002:157 [ref. 26899], Allen & Adrim 2003:22 [ref. 26830], Manilo & Bogorodsky 2003:S94 [ref. 27377], Compagno et al. 2005:78 [ref. 29145], Allen et al. 2006:206 [ref. 29002], Last el al. 2010:248 [ref. 32461], Weigmann 2011:277 [ref. 32424], Allen & Erdmann 2012:66 [ref. 31980], Naylor et al. 2012:83 [ref. 32267] see remarks, Larson et al. 2013:21 [ref. 32988], Larson et al. 2013:22 [ref. 32988], Ebert et al. 2013:367 [ref. 33045], White et al. 2015:[10] [ref. 33897], Psomadakis et al. 2015:106 [ref. 34104], Weigmann 2016:150 [ref. 34211], White & Naylor 2016:437 [ref. 34575] in Myliobatidae, White & Last 2016:713 [ref. 35016], Ali et al. 2018:305 [ref. 36183], Kumar et al. 2018:298 [ref. 36178], Eagderi et al. 2019:12 [ref. 37020], Zajonz et al. 2019:60 [ref. 36871], Habib & Islam 2020:Supplementary table p. 4 [ref. 38321], Psomadakis et al. 2020:212 [ref. 37272], Haroon & Kibria 2021:125 [ref. 39241], Carvalho & Soares 2022:622 [ref. 39676], Gloerfelt-Tarp & Kailola 2022:45 [ref. 41223] as niechofii, Hsu et al. 2022:4 [ref. 39567], Jabado et al. 2022:12 [ref. 39046], Zajonz et al. 2022:32 [ref. 40522], Allen & Erdmann 2024:70 [ref. 40796]).
