Trichomycterus Valenciennes [A.] (ex Humboldt) 1832:348 Masc. Trichomycterus nigricans Valenciennes 1832. Type by original designation (also monotypic). Unneeded replacement for Eremophilus Humboldt 1805. Based on Thrichomycterus of Humboldt 1805:18 [ref. 2278], which appeared as a synonym of Eremophilus Humboldt 1805; in prevailing usage as a genus different from Eremophilus. Spelled once (p. 485) as Thrychomycterus by Valenciennes in Cuvier & Valenciennes 1846:485 [ref. 1011], and as Thrichomycterus in early literature. Described in van der Hoeven 1855:286 [ref. 6527] as "Trichomycterus (Humboldt) nob."; apparently not an original description. •Valid as Trichomycterus Valenciennes 1832 -- (Arratia et al. 1978 [ref. 144] with type as areolatus, de Pinna 1989:31 [ref. 12630], Burgess 1989:321 [ref. 12860], Malabarba 1989:146 [ref. 14217], Arratia 1990:397 [ref. 16581], Costa 1992 [ref. 19725], Bizerril 1994:617 [ref. 22673], de Pinna 1998:297, 300 [ref. 23847], Britski et al. 1999:92 [ref. 24147], Dyer 2000:84 [ref. 26678], Fernandez 2000:349 [ref. 25077], Fernández & Vari 2000:993 [ref. 25017], Fernández & Bichuette 2002:273 [ref. 26539], de Pinna & Wosiacki in Reis et al. 2003:279 [ref. 27061], Wosiacki & Garavello 2004:1 [ref. 27649], Triques & Vono 2004:162 [ref. 27798], Bockmann & Sazima 2004:69 [ref. 27865], Wosiacki 2005:50 [ref. 28658], Fernández & Osinaga 2006:385 [ref. 28738], Castellanos-Morales 2007:49 [ref. 29323], Fernández & Chuquihuamaní 2007:49 [ref. 29320], Fernández & Miranda 2007:1303 [ref. 29361], Ferraris 2007:414 [ref. 29155], Wosiacki & de Pinna 2008:17 [ref. 29574], Castellanos-Morales 2008:307 [ref. 29836], Lima et al. 2008:315 [ref. 29837], Barbosa & Costa 2008:176 [ref. 29961], Ardila Rodríguez 2008:33 [ref. 30122], Fernández & Vari 2009:195 [ref. 30062], da Silva et al. 2010:49 [ref. 30755], Barbosa & Costa 2010:97 [ref. 30782], Barbosa & Costa 2010:193 [ref. 31070], Ferrer & Malabarba 2011:59 [ref. 31348], Ardila Rodríguez 2011:3 [ref. 31409], Ardila Rodríguez 2011:13 [ref. 31410], Sarmento-Soares et al. 2011:261 [ref. 31385], Castellanos-Morales 2011:33 [ref. 31477], Rizzato et al. 2011:477 [ref. 31516], Fernández et al. 2011:227 [ref. 31662], Barbosa & Costa 2012:79 [ref. 31901], Datovo et al. 2012:40 [ref. 31994], Lezuma et al. 2012:60 [ref. 32020], Dutra et al. 2012:225 [ref. 32029], Barbosa & Costa 2012:155 [ref. 32045], Bichuette & Rizzato 2012:48 [ref. 32163], Barbosa & Azevedo-Santos 2012:357 [ref. 32318], Fernández & Vari 2012:631 [ref. 32359], Katz et al. 2013:359 [ref. 32530], Ferrer & Malabarba 2013:217 [ref. 32750], Barbosa 2013:269 [ref. 33106], Katz & Barbosa 2014:3 [ref. 33418], DoNascimiento et al. 2014:717 [ref. 33632], Ardila Rodríguez 2014:2 [ref. 33769], Fernández et al. 2015:9 [ref. 35041], Ardila Rodríguez 2016:4 [ref. 34399], García-Melo et al. 2016:226 [ref. 34471], Henschel 2016:117 [ref. 34775], Bertaco et al. 2016:421 [ref. 34561], Barbosa & Katz 2016:261 [ref. 34950], Ardila Rodríguez 2016:1 [ref. 35108], Terán et al. 2017:1 [ref. 35391], Nascimento et al. 2017:503 [ref. 35440], Ardila Rodríguez 2017:1 [ref. 35579], Ochoa et al. 2017:550 [ref. 35582], Ardila Rodríguez 2017:1 [ref. 35812], Ardila Rodríguez 2018:1 [ref. 35926], Angulo et al. 2018:530 [ref. 35937], Mesa S. et al. 2018:95 [ref. 35987], Castellanos-Morales 2018:117 [ref. 35988], Fernández & Andreoli Bize 2018:359 [ref. 36232], Ardila Rodríguez 2018:1 [ref. 36278], Reis & de Pinna 2019:100 [ref. 36632], Reis et al. 2019:[1] [ref. 36902], Ardila Rodríguez 2019:1 [ref. 36944], DoNascimiento & Prada-Pedreros 2020:1 [ref. 37386], Donin et al. 2020:1 [ref. 37395], Miranda & Fernández 2020:459 [ref. 37703], Vilardo et al. 2020:1 [ref. 37847], Reis et al. 2020:1 [ref. 37862], Costa et al. 2020:74 [ref. 38088], Costa & Katz 2021:1 [ref. 38252], Costa et al. 2021:124 [ref. 38372], Costa 2021:173 [ref. 38391], Costa & Katz 2022:13 [ref. 38971], Costa et al. 2022:1 [ref. 39248], Costa et al. 2022:151 [ref. 39290], Reis & de Pinna 2022:1 [ref. 39360], Costa et al. 2022:491 [ref. 39820], Costa et al. 2023:1 [ref. 40170], Costa et al. 2023:1 [ref. 40511], Fernández et al. 2023:456 [ref. 40542], Ardila Rodríguez 2023:1 [ref. 40606], Ardila Rodríguez 2023:1 [ref. 40609], Vilardo et al. 2023:4 [ref. 40643], Ardila Rodríguez 2023:1 [ref. 40647], Costa et al. 2024:223 [ref. 40868]).
