Acanthurus (subgenus of Chaetodon) Forsskål [P. S.] in Niebuhr 1775:59 [Descriptiones animalium (Forsskål); ref. 1351] Masc. Teuthis hepatus Linnaeus 1766. Type by subsequent designation. Authorship according to Fricke 2008:54 [ref. 30182]. Type designated by Desmarest 1856:246 [ref. 17401] -- see Whitley 1939:224 [ref. 25866] but Whitley has wrong date for Desmarest. Acanthura is a misspelling. See Kottelat (2013) for problems with the type species. •Valid as Acanthurus Forsskål 1775 -- (Randall 1956:166 [ref. 12221], Desoutter 1973:455 [ref. 7203], Lindberg & Krasyukova 1975:235 [ref. 7348], Leis & Richards 1984:548 [ref. 13669], Kishimoto Pin Masuda et al. 1984:230 [ref. 6441], Desoutter in Whitehead et al. 1986:962 [ref. 13676], Randall 1986:812 [ref. 5706], Allen & Ayling 1987 [ref. 13388], Tyler et al. 1989:37 [ref. 13460], Blot & Tyler 1990:18 [ref. 19415], Winterbottom 1993:36 [ref. 20307], Guiasu & Winterbottom 1993:300 [ref. 21023], Castro-Aguirre et al. 1999:458 [ref. 24550], Kuiter & Debelius 2001:19 [ref. 26232], Randall 2001:3655 [ref. 26301], Randall 2003:1802 [ref. 27098], Allen et al. 2006:1733 [ref. 29094], Craig 2008:65 [ref. 29767], Fricke 2008:54 [ref. 30182], Randall et al. 2011:265 [ref. 31249], Bernal & Rocha 2011:63 [ref. 31336], Kottelat 2013:441 [ref. 32989], Parin et al. 2014:507 [ref. 33547], Fricke et al. 2015:10 [ref. 33930], Struthers 2015:1592 [ref. 34302], Carpenter et al. 2017:33 [ref. 35143], Motomura et al. 2017:205 [ref. 35490], Fricke et al. 2018:351 [ref. 35805], Golani & Fricke 2018:166 [ref. 36273], Brown et al. 2019:180 [ref. 36444], Fricke et al. 2019:299 [ref. 36673]).

Ctenodon (subgenus of Acanthurus) Swainson [W.] 1839:178, 255, 256 [The natural history and classification v. 2; ref. 4303] Masc. Ctenodon ruppelii Swainson 1839. Type by subsequent designation. Type designated by Swain 1882:276 [ref. 5966]. Apparently preoccupied by Ctenodon Wagler 1830, not replaced. Not Ctenodon Bonaparte 1831 or Klunzinger 1884. Kottelat (2013):442 [ref. 32989] emended species name to ruppellii by mistake; not an inadvertent error. •Synonym of Acanthurus Forsskål 1775 -- (Kottelat 2013:442 [ref. 32989]). 1°Homonym. Current status: Synonym of Acanthurus Forsskål 1775. Acanthuridae.

Ctenodon (subgenus of Acanthurus) Klunzinger [C. B.] 1871:509 [Verhandlungen der K.-K. zoologisch-botanischen Gesellschaft in Wien v. 21; ref. 2622] Masc. Acanthurus strigosus Bennett 1828. Type by monotypy. Not described as new but validates this use of Ctenodon by Bonaparte. Apparently preoccupied by Ctenodon Wagler 1830 in Insecta, preoccupied by Ctenodon Swainson 1839 in fishes. Ctenochaetus Gill 1884 is an available objective synonym. •Synonym of Ctenochaetus Gill 1884 -- (Randall 1955:365 [ref. 13648], Randall & Clements 2001:3 [ref. 25453]).

Harpurus Forster [J. R.] 1788:84 [Enchiridion historiae naturali inserviens; ref. 1354] Masc. Teuthis hepaticus Linnaeus 1766. Type by being a replacement name. Unneeded replacement for Acanthurus Forsskål 1775. Not available, described in synonymy of Acanthurus Forsskål 1775. Without species originally, first addition of species and type designation not necessary. Type designated by Fowler 1904:544 [ref. 1367] as Chaetodon sohol Forsskål; Jordan lists Hapurus fasciatus Forster 1778 as type. However, Forster mentioned Acanthrus of Forsskål on p. 84 establishing Harpurus as a replacement name with the same type as Acanthurus. •Synonym of Acanthurus Forsskål 1775 -- (Randall 1955:363 [ref. 13648], Kottelat 2013:441 [ref. 32989]).

Spelling somewhat unclear with regard to dipthong "ae" or "oe" in original description, apparently "ae". •Synonym of Zebrasoma Swainson 1839 -- (Randall 1955:363 [ref. 13648], Kottelat 2013:443 [ref. 32989]). Current status: Synonym of Zebrasoma Swainson 1839. Acanthuridae.

Teuthis Linnaeus [C.] 1766:507 [Systema naturae sive regna tria naturae v. 1 (pt 1); ref. 2786] Fem. Teuthis hepatus Linnaeus 1766. Apparently under review by ICZN; see Taylor 1970 [ref. 6162] and Woodland 1972 [ref. 6163] and 1973 [ref. 6164]; at one time on Official List (Opinion 93). As Theuthys, Teutis, Teuthys, and Theuthis in early literature. Teuthys Linck 1790 on Official Index as an incorrect subsequent spelling (supplement to Opinion 56). See Kotelat 2013 [ref. 32995] for current comments on the cases. •Synonym of Acanthurus Forsskål 1775 -- (Randall 1955:363 [ref. 13648], Desoutter 1973:455 [ref. 7203]). •Synonym of Siganus Forsskål 1775 -- (Woodland 1990:16 [ref. 19220] with remarks, Kottelat 2013:339 [ref. 32989]). •Synonym of Siganus Fabricius 1775.

Theutys Goüan [A.] 1770:105 [Historia piscium; ref. 1863] Masc. Teuthis hepatus Linnaeus 1766. Type by subsequent designation. Appeared without species, type as given by Fowler & Bean 1929:207 [ref. 1476]. Perhaps (on p. 105) just a misspelling for Teuthis Linnaeus as used by Goüan on p. 163 where the description of Theutys would have appeared. •Synonym of Acanthurus Forsskål 1775 -- (Desoutter 1973:455 [ref. 7203]).
