Ericius Tilesius [W. G. von] 1809:243 Masc. Monocentris carinata Bloch & Schneider 1801. Appeared without species, but Ericius was proposed for the same species that Bloch & Schneider, p. 100, called Monocentris; possibly can be regarded as a replacement for or alternate name for Monocentris Bloch & Schneider 1801. •Synonym of Monocentris Bloch & Schneider 1801 -- (Kotlyar 1996:199 [ref. 23292], Su et al. 2022:183 [ref. 39633]). Replacement Name. Current status: Synonym of Monocentris Bloch & Schneider 1801. Monocentridae.

Lepicantha Rafinesque [C. S.] 1815:85 Fem. Not available; name only and apparently an incorrect subsequent spelling of, or emendation of Lepisacanthus Lacepède 1801 -- (Kotlyar 1996:199 [ref. 23292]). •In the synonymy of Monocentris Bloch & Schneider 1801 -- (Kotlyar 1996:199 [ref. 23292]).
