Maenoides Richardson [J.] 1843:8 Masc. Maenoides aurofrenatus Richardson 1843. Type by subsequent designation.

Type designated by Jordan 1923:197 [ref. 2421] but genus spelled Maenioides. •Synonym of Pentapodus Quoy & Gaimard 1824 -- (Russell 1990:78 [ref. 19228]).

Parabodianus de Beaufort [L. F.] 1940:50 Masc. Parabodianus rutteni de Beaufort 1940. Type by monotypy.

Russell, pers. comm.). Current status: Synonym of Pentapodus Quoy & Gaimard 1824. Nemipteridae.

Current status: Valid as Pentapodus Quoy & Gaimard 1824. Nemipteridae.

Pentapus Valenciennes [A.] in Cuvier & Valenciennes 1830:258 Masc. Sparus vittatus Bloch 1791. Type by subsequent designation. Type designated by Bleeker 1876:279 [ref. 447]. •Synonym of Pentapodus Quoy & Gaimard 1824 -- (Russell 1990:78 [ref. 19228]). Current status: Synonym of Pentapodus Quoy & Gaimard 1824. Nemipteridae.

Scaevius Whitley [G. P.] 1947:142 Masc. Scaevius nicanor Whitley 1947. Type by original designation (also monotypic). •Valid as Scaevius Whitley 1947 -- (Russell 1990:95 [ref. 19228], Russell 2001:3054 [ref. 26106], Allen et al. 2006:1247 [ref. 29090], Hung et al. 2017:6 [ref. 35385]). Current status: Valid as Scaevius Whitley 1947. Nemipteridae.

Scolopsides Cuvier [G.] 1829:178 Masc. Scolopsides kurita Cuvier 1829. Type by subsequent designation. Type apparently designated first by Jordan 1917:128 [ref. 2407]; kurita is available from 1829 by reference to Russell. Earlier called Scolopsis by Cuvier. Kotelat (2013:349) treats as a misspelling of Scolopsis. •Synonym of Scolopsis Cuvier 1814 -- (Russell 1990:96 [ref. 19228], Kottelat 2013:349 [ref. 32989], Russell et al. 2022:503 [ref. 39103]). Current status: Synonym of Scolopsis Cuvier 1814. Nemipteridae.

Scolopsis Cuvier [G.] 1814:90 Fem. Scolopsis sayanus Gilliams 1824. Type by subsequent monotypy. Usually dated to Cuvier 1815:361 [ref. 1019]. In 1816:280 [ref. 993], Cuvier mentions only "le kurite" and "botche" as figured by Russell. By 1829:178 [ref. 995] Cuvier had adopted the name Scolopsides; first addition of available species in Scolopsis of 1814 is apparently Scolopsis sayanus Gilliams 1824 (Aug.), predating Scolopsis lineatus Quoy & Gaimard 1824 (18 Dec.); type would be sayanus by subsequent monotypy. Scolopsis sayanus is the freshwater North American pirate perch Aphredoderus sayanus. The ICZN should be petitioned to select another species, perhaps Scolopsis lineatus Quoy & Gaimard 1824 as type to preserve use of this genus for marine species of Nemipteridae (formerly Scolopsidae). Kottelat 2013:238 [ref. 32989] suggests that if curite Cuvier 1815 is available, then it could be the type; otherwise we need a petition. •Valid as Scolopsis Cuvier 1814 -- (Akazaki in Masuda et al. 1984:175 [ref. 6441], Russell 1986:601 [ref. 5708], Russell 1990:96 [ref. 19228], Chen 1997:345 [ref. 23444], Russell 2001:3053 [ref. 26106], Allen et al. 2006:1248 [ref. 29090], Kottelat 2013:349 [ref. 32989], Hung et al. 2017:8 [ref. 35385], Motomura et al. 2017:151 [ref. 35490], Fricke et al. 2018:211 [ref. 35805], Golani & Fricke 2018:95 [ref. 36273], Nakamura et al. 2018:222 [ref. 36223], Fricke et al. 2019:166 [ref. 36673], Nakamura et al. 2019:119 [ref. 36815], Russell et al. 2022:503 [ref. 39103]). Current status: Valid as Scolopsis Cuvier 1814. Nemipteridae.

Synagris Günther [A.] 1859:373 Fem. Dentex furcosus Valenciennes 1830. Type by subsequent designation. Type designated by Jordan & Evermann 1898:1288 [ref. 2444]. Not preoccupied by Synagris Klein 1775 or Klein in Walbaum 1792 (not available). •Synonym of Nemipterus Swainson 1839 -- (Russell 1990:16 [ref. 19228]. Kottelat 2013:349 [ref. 32989]). Current status: Synonym of Nemipterus Swainson 1839. Nemipteridae.
