Alestiops (subgenus of Alestes) Hoedeman [J. J.] 1951:3 [Beaufortia v. 1 (no. 3); ref. 2178] Masc. Alestes tanganicae Hoedeman 1951. Not available from Hoedeman 1951--no fixation of type species after 1930 (Art. 13.3). Earliest available publication apparently by Fowler 1975:73 [ref. 9331], where citation to Hoedeman is given and a type (as a subspecies) is designated. Author would be Fowler and date 1975. •Treated as a synonym of Alestes Müller & Troschel 1844 -- (Paugy 1984:140 [ref. 6183]). Current status: Synonym of Alestes Müller & Troschel 1844. Alestidae.

Alestobrycon Hoedeman [J. J.] 1951:3 [Beaufortia v. 1 (no. 3); ref. 2178] Masc. Alestes intermedius Boulenger 1903. Type by original designation. Type designation by placing type species in parentheses. •Synonym of Alestes Müller & Troschel 1844 -- (Paugy 1984:140 [ref. 6183]). •Synonym of Bryconalestes Hoedeman 1951 -- (Boden & Derijst 2024:32 [ref. 40817]). Current status: Synonym of Bryconalestes Hoedeman 1951. Alestidae.

Alestogrammus (subgenus of Phenacogrammus) Hoedeman [J. J.] 1956:559 [ref. 6184] Masc. Alestes abeli Fowler 1936. Type by original designation. Appeared first in Hoedeman 1951:7 [ref. 2178] as a subgenus of Alestopetersius but not available; three included species but no type established (Art. 13.3). Furthermore, a line was missing in the key on p. 7. From BB. on, all subgenera were intended as belonging to the genus Phenacogrammus. Apparently dates to Hoedeman 1956 as above. •Synonym of Bathyaethiops Fowler 1949 -- (Paugy 1984:163 [ref. 6183]). •Synonym of Brachyalestes Günther 1864.
