saltatrix, Perca Linnaeus [C.] 1758:293 [Systema Naturae, Ed. X v. 1; ref. 2787] Dry Tortugas Island, Gulf of Mexico, Florida, USA. Neotype: USNM 116963. Appeared first as saltatrix; then in Linnaeus 1766:486 [ref. 2786] as Perca sectatrix -- the latter account being based solely on Catesby 1743 (1st ed.):8, Pl. 8, fig. 2 (v. 2) [ref. 774], the Rudder fish, Perca marina sectatrix, family Kyphosidae. Catesby's name was sectatrix, based on the Latin "follower" to which Catesby alluded to in his account. Apparently saltatrix Linnaeus 1758 was a lapsus, which Linnaeus himself changed in 1766 to sectatrix. Early authors such as Jordan & Everman 1898:1387 [ref. 2444] used sectatrix for this species as did most subsequent authors; more recently some authors use sectator. In any event, the name saltatrix can be excluded because of lack of use, or it can be considered an incorrect original spelling, which Linnaeus corrected in 1766. The names sectatrix and sectator are then in competition, but the name sectatrix is a noun, and need not be changed from the use by Linnaeus in 1776 and by Jordan & Evermann in Kyphosus. The spelling saltator is the masculine form of saltatrix, so when the species was placed in Kyphosus some people used saltator. The correct name is Kyphosis sectatrix (Linnaeus 1758). This account has been modified in June 2011. The above specimens can be split between atlantics and bosquii or are unassigned -- see Sakai & Nakabo 2014 [ref. 33211].
