Genera in the family or subfamily Osteoglossidae: [ 5 ] records


Delsmania (subgenus of Scleropages) Fowler [H. W.] 1934:243 Fem. Osteoglossum formosum Müller & Schlegel 1840. Type by original designation (also monotypic). •Synonym of Scleropages but a valid subgenus Delsmania -- (Roberts 2012:114 [ref. 31952]). •Synonym of Scleropages Günther 1864 -- (Roberts 1989:23 [ref. 6439], Kottelat 2013:30 [ref. 32989]). Current status: Synonym of Scleropages Günther 1864. Osteoglossidae.

Ischnosoma Agassiz [L.] in Spix & Agassiz 1829:46, 47 Neut. Osteoglossum bicirrhosum Spix & Agassiz 1829. Not available, name published in synonymy of Osteoglossum Cuvier 1829, and apparently never made available. Type as given by Jordan 1917:132 [ref. 2407]; if not technically available then it would have no type species. Kottelat differs in that he feels Agassiz's use validates the name Ischnosoma back to Cuvier, but Agassiz used the name only in synonymy. See account of Osteoglossum. •In the synonymy of Osteoglossum Cuvier 1829 -- (see Kottelat 1988:81 [ref. 13380]). Current status: Synonym of Osteoglossum Cuvier 1829. Osteoglossidae.

Osteoglossum Agassiz [L.] in Spix & Agassiz 1829:46 Neut. Osteoglossum bicirrhosum Spix & Agassiz 1829. Type by monotypy. See account of Osteoglossum Cuvier 1829. Ferraris in Reis et al. 2003:30 [ref. 27061] treats Spix & Agassiz as authors. •Objective synonym of Osteoglossum Cuvier 1829. Current status: Synonym of Osteoglossum Cuvier 1829. Osteoglossidae.

Osteoglossum Cuvier [G.] (ex Vandelli) 1829:328 Neut. Osteoglossum bicirrhosum Cuvier 1829. Type designated by the ICZN. Cuvier 1829 predates Spix and Agassiz 1829 [ref. 13] (Whitehead & Myers 1971 [ref. 6584] and Kottelat 1988:81 [ref. 13380]). Authorship of species differs from Whitehead & Myers; see also treatment in 1990 edition of the "Genera." Type species and authorship as above established in Opinion 1621 in 1990. •Valid as Osteoglossum Cuvier 1829 -- (Hilton 2003:90 [ref. 26584], Ferraris in Reis et al. 2003:30 [ref. 27061], Leal & Brito 2007:2 [ref. 29313], Hilton & Britz 2010:234 [ref. 31406], van Van Oijen & van der Meij 2013:361 [ref. 32950]). Current status: Valid as Osteoglossum Cuvier 1829. Osteoglossidae.
