Torpedo Forsskål [P. S.] 1775:16 Fem. Misidentification; wrongly described the electric catfish of the Nile under the electric ray, Malapterurus electricus (Gmelin 1789) (family Malapteruridae); also not intended as a genus description, but presented as a species name and not a generic name, so the authorship is changed to Duméril 1805 (see Fricke 2008:10, 18 [ref. 30182]). Malapteruridae.
