bowersi, Congrellus Jenkins [O. P.] 1903:422, Fig. 1 [Bulletin of the U. S. Fish Commission v. 22 (1902); ref. 2341] Honolulu, Oahu Island, Hawaiian Islands. Holotype: USNM 50689. Paratypes: CAS-SU 23314 (5), USNM 126007 [ex USBF 1174] (2). Type catalog: Böhlke 1953:48 [ref. 12291], Smith 1994:6-7 [ref. 21917]. Ariosoma marginatum (Vaillant & Sauvage 1875) is preoccupied by Leptocephalus marginatus Kaup 1856 when classified in genus Ariosoma; then Arisoma bowersi (Jenkins 1903) is the oldest available name. •Synonym of Ariosoma marginatum (Vaillant & Sauvage 1875) -- (Mundy 2005:139 [ref. 28379], Randall 2007:55 [ref. 30952]). •Valid as Arisoma bowersi (Jenkins 1903) -- (Kodeeswaran et al. 2022: [6] 780 [ref. 39019]). Current status: Valid as Ariosoma bowersi (Jenkins 1903). Congridae: Bathymyrinae. Distribution: Central Pacific: Johnston Atoll, Cross Seamount and Hawaiian islands (U.S.A.). Habitat: marine.

marginatus, Congrogadus Vaillant [L. L.] & Sauvage [H.-E.] 1875:282 [Revue et Magasin de Zoologie (Sér. 3) v. 3; ref. 17853] Hawaiian Islands (U.S.A.). Syntypes: MNHN 0000-9012 (1), 0000-9013 (8). Type catalog: Bauchot 1967:38 [ref. 20734], Bauchot & Desoutter 1987:86 [ref. 12478], Bauchot et al. 1993:114-115 [ref. 20810] but as holotype and paratypes. Ariosoma is neuter, so the correct combination is apparently Ariosoma marginatum. Preoccupied by Leptocephalus marginatus Kaup 1856 when placed in Ariosoma (by Bertin 1935, ref. 21550) -- David Smith pers. email 3 Jan. 2017. •Valid as Ariosoma marginatus (Vaillant & Sauvage 1875) -- (Smith 1989:495 [ref. 13285], Bauchot et al. 1993:114 [ref. 20810]). •Valid as Ariosoma marginatum (Vaillant & Sauvage 1875) -- (Mundy 2005:139 [ref. 28379], Randall 2007:55 [ref. 30952]). •Synonym of Ariosoma bowersi (Jenkins 1903). 2°Homonym.
