Acanthocaulus Waite [E. R.] 1900:206 Masc. Prionurus microlepidotus Lacepède 1804. Type by being a replacement name. Unneeded replacement for Prionurus Lacepède 1804, apparently not preoccupied by Ehrenberg 1829. •Objective synonym of Prionurus Lacepède 1804 -- (Randall 1955:362 [ref. 13648], Randall 2001:160 [ref. 25804]). Current status: Synonym of Prionurus Lacepède 1804. Acanthuridae.

Acanthurus (subgenus of Chaetodon) Forsskål [P. S.] in Niebuhr 1775:59 Masc. Teuthis hepatus Linnaeus 1766. Type by subsequent designation. Authorship according to Fricke 2008:54 [ref. 30182]. Type designated by Desmarest 1856:246 [ref. 17401] -- see Whitley 1939:224 [ref. 25866] but Whitley has wrong date for Desmarest. Acanthura is a misspelling. See Kottelat (2013) for problems with the type species. •Valid as Acanthurus Forsskål 1775 -- (Randall 1956:166 [ref. 12221], Desoutter 1973:455 [ref. 7203], Lindberg & Krasyukova 1975:235 [ref. 7348], Leis & Richards 1984:548 [ref. 13669], Kishimoto Pin Masuda et al. 1984:230 [ref. 6441], Desoutter in Whitehead et al. 1986:962 [ref. 13676], Randall 1986:812 [ref. 5706], Allen & Ayling 1987 [ref. 13388], Tyler et al. 1989:37 [ref. 13460], Blot & Tyler 1990:18 [ref. 19415], Winterbottom 1993:36 [ref. 20307], Guiasu & Winterbottom 1993:300 [ref. 21023], Castro-Aguirre et al. 1999:458 [ref. 24550], Kuiter & Debelius 2001:19 [ref. 26232], Randall 2001:3655 [ref. 26301], Randall 2003:1802 [ref. 27098], Allen et al. 2006:1733 [ref. 29094], Craig 2008:65 [ref. 29767], Fricke 2008:54 [ref. 30182], Randall et al. 2011:265 [ref. 31249], Bernal & Rocha 2011:63 [ref. 31336], Kottelat 2013:441 [ref. 32989], Parin et al. 2014:507 [ref. 33547], Fricke et al. 2015:10 [ref. 33930], Struthers 2015:1592 [ref. 34302], Carpenter et al. 2017:33 [ref. 35143], Motomura et al. 2017:205 [ref. 35490], Fricke et al. 2018:351 [ref. 35805], Golani & Fricke 2018:166 [ref. 36273], Brown et al. 2019:180 [ref. 36444], Fricke et al. 2019:299 [ref. 36673]).

Acanthus Bloch [M. E.] 1795:105 Masc. Apparently just a typesetting error for Acanthurus as used by Bloch on p. 106 and not an original description.

Ctenodon (subgenus of Acanthurus) Klunzinger [C. B.] 1871:509 Masc. Acanthurus strigosus Bennett 1828. Type by monotypy. Not described as new but validates this use of Ctenodon by Bonaparte. Apparently preoccupied by Ctenodon Wagler 1830 in Insecta, preoccupied by Ctenodon Swainson 1839 in fishes. Ctenochaetus Gill 1884 is an available objective synonym. •Synonym of Ctenochaetus Gill 1884 -- (Randall 1955:365 [ref. 13648], Randall & Clements 2001:3 [ref. 25453]).

Apparently preoccupied by Ctenodon Wagler 1830, not replaced. Not Ctenodon Bonaparte 1831 or Klunzinger 1884. Kottelat (2013):442 [ref. 32989] emended species name to ruppellii by mistake; not an inadvertent error. •Synonym of Acanthurus Forsskål 1775 -- (Kottelat 2013:442 [ref. 32989]). 1°Homonym. Current status: Synonym of Acanthurus Forsskål 1775. Acanthuridae.

Type designated by Fowler 1904:544 [ref. 1367] as Chaetodon sohol Forsskål; Jordan lists Hapurus fasciatus Forster 1778 as type. However, Forster mentioned Acanthrus of Forsskål on p. 84 establishing Harpurus as a replacement name with the same type as Acanthurus. •Synonym of Acanthurus Forsskål 1775 -- (Randall 1955:363 [ref. 13648], Kottelat 2013:441 [ref. 32989]).
