Aequidens (subgenus of Astronotus) Eigenmann [C. H.] & Bray [W. L.] 1894:616 [Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences v. 7 (art. 4); ref. 1248] Masc. Acara tetramerus Heckel 1840. Type by monotypy in subgenus. •Valid as Aequidens Eigenmann & Bray 1894 -- (Kullander 1986:338 [ref. 12439], Kullander & Nijssen 1989:134 [ref. 14136], Kullander 1995 [ref. 21877], Kullander 1998:494 [ref. 23855], Britski et al. 1999:148 [ref. 24147], Kullander in Reis et al. 2003:607 [ref. 27061], Allen et al. 2006:1437 [ref. 29081], Musilová et al. 2008:660 [ref. 29518], Kullander 2012:52 [ref. 31798], Kottelat 2013:373 [ref. 32989], Hernández-Acevedo et al. 2015:96 [ref. 34438], Oliveira et al. 2024:1 [ref. 41212]).

Tetragonopterus (Aequidens) fasslii Steindachner 1915. Type by monotypy. Objectively invalid; preoccupied by Aequidens Eigenmann & Bray 1894 in fishes, replaced by Evenichthys Whitley 1935. "Misprint for Astyanax" written in separate at the California Academy of Sciences, and this plus style (see new subgenus Pseudepapterus) suggests that the name was in error and not intended as an original description. 1°Homonym.

Correct spelling for genus of type species is Otolithes. •Valid as Atractoscion Gill 1862 -- (Trewavas 1977:282 [ref. 4459], Heemstra 1986:617 [ref. 5660], Castro-Aguirre et al. 1999:357 [ref. 24550], Sasaki 2001:3119 [ref. 26108], Mecklenburg et al. 2002:656 [ref. 25968], Chao 2002:7 [ref. 26250], Bray et al. 2006:1258 [ref. 29091], Pietsch & Orr 2015:55 [ref. 34694], Song et al. 2017:223 [ref. 35529], Parenti 2020:6 [ref. 37439]).

Replacement for Aequidens Steindachner 1915, preoccupied by Aequidens Eigenmann & Bray 1894. Misspelled Evemichthys in Zoological Record for 1935. Written in Stanford reprint of Steindachner 1915: "Aequidens Stdr. 1915 was a lapsus calami for Astyanax." •Synonym of Astyanax Baird & Girard 1854 -- (Buckup in Reis et al. 2003:107 [ref. 27061]).
