Aspredinichthys Bleeker [P.] 1858:328, 329 [Acta Societatis Regiae Scientiarum Indo-Neêrlandicae v. 4 (art. 2); ref. 365] Masc. Aspredo tibicen Valenciennes 1840. Type by monotypy. •Valid as Aspredinichthys Bleeker 1858 -- (Mees 1987:188 [ref. 11510], Burgess 1989:304 [ref. 12860], de Pinna 1998:318 [ref. 23847], Ferraris 2003:860 [ref. 26999], Friel in Reis et al. 2003:261 [ref. 27061], Ferraris 2007:57 [ref. 29155], Cardoso 2010:607 [ref. 30972]). Current status: Valid as Aspredinichthys Bleeker 1858. Aspredinidae: Aspredininae.

Aspredo Scopoli [J. A.] (ex Gronow) 1777:453 [Introductio ad historiam naturalem; ref. 3990] Masc. Silurus aspredo Linnaeus 1758. Appeared without species; first inclusion of species under name attributed to Scopoli not researched. Fowler (MS) lists the type as Silurus batrachus Linnaeus as designated by Eigenmann 1910:380 [ref. 1224] for Aspredo Bleeker. Mees 1987:183 [ref. 11510] indicates type is by subsequent designation of Fowler 1954:39 [our ref. 1465]. Type designated by Desmarest 1856:282 [ref. 17401] is Silurus callichthys Linnaeus 1758 -- see Whitley 1939:225 [ref. 25866] but Whitley has wrong date for Desmarest. Not Aspredo Swainson 1838. Gender uncertain, treated as masculine by current authors. •Valid as Aspredo Scopoli 1777 -- (Mees 1987:183 [ref. 11510], Burgess 1989:304 [ref. 12860], de Pinna 1998:318 [ref. 23847], Ferraris 2003:861 [ref. 26999], Friel in Reis et al. 2003:262 [ref. 27061], Ferraris 2007:58 [ref. 29155], Cardoso 2010:607 [ref. 30972], Ng 2010:271 [ref. 31110]). Current status: Valid as Aspredo Scopoli 1777. Aspredinidae: Aspredininae.

Aspredo Swainson [W.] 1838:332 [The natural history and classification of fishes, amphibians, & reptiles, or monocardian animals. v. 1; ref. 4302] Masc. Aspredo gronovii Swainson 1838. Type by monotypy. Objectively invalid; preoccupied by Aspredo Scopoli 1777. Gender uncertain, treated as masculine by current authors. •Synonym of Bunocephalichthys Bleeker 1858 -- (Mees 1988:89 [ref. 6401]). •Synonym of Bunocephalus Kner 1855 -- (Friel in Reis et al. 2003:262 [ref. 27061], Ferraris 2007:58 [ref. 29155]). 1°Homonym. Current status: Synonym of Bunocephalus Kner 1855. Aspredinidae: Aspredininae.

Chamaigenes Eigenmann [C. H.] 1910:380 [Catalogue of the fresh-water fishes of tropical and south temperate America v. 3 (pt 4); ref. 1224] Masc. Aspredo filamentosus Valenciennes 1840. Type by original designation (also monotypic). Description appeared in Eigenmann 1912:120 [ref. 1227], but available from 1910 by indication of included available species. •Synonym of Aspredinichthys Bleeker 1858 -- (Mees 1987:188 [ref. 11510], Ferraris 2007:57 [ref. 29155]). Current status: Synonym of Aspredinichthys Bleeker 1858. Aspredinidae: Aspredininae.

Cotylephorus Swainson [W.] 1838:354 [The natural history and classification of fishes, amphibians, & reptiles, or monocardian animals. v. 1; ref. 4302] Masc. Cotylephorus blochii Swainson 1838 (= Platystacus cotylephorus Bloch 1794). Type by monotypy in 1838:354; blochii Swainson is an unneeded substitute for P. cotylephorus. Also in Swainson 1839 [ref. 4303]:189 (as Cotilephorus), and p. 308 (as Cotylephorus). Cotilephorus is an incorrect subsequent spelling. Cotylophorus Agassiz 1846:102 [ref. 64] is an unjustified emendation. •Objective synonym of Platystacus Bloch 1794, which Mees 1987:175 [ref. 11510] treats as a synonym of Aspredo Scopoli 1777. •Synonym of Platystacus Bloch 1794 -- (Friel in Reis et al. 2003:264 [ref. 27061], Ferraris 2007:61 [ref. 29155]). Current status: Synonym of Aspredo Scopoli 1777. Aspredinidae: Aspredininae.

Platystacus Bloch [M. E.] 1794:52 [Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische v. 8; ref. 463] Masc. Platystacus cotylephorus Bloch 1794. Type by subsequent designation. Earliest type designation not researched, possibly Bleeker 1863:118 [ref. 401]. Platystachus is a misspelling (see also Harry 1947 [ref. 14435]). •Synonym of Aspredo Scopoli 1777 -- (Mees 1987:183 [ref. 11510]). •Valid as Platystacus Bloch 1794 -- (de Pinna 1998:318 [ref. 23847], Ferraris 2003:861 [ref. 26999], Ferraris 2003:863 [ref. 26999], Friel in Reis et al. 2003:264 [ref. 27061], Ferraris 2007:61 [ref. 29155], Cardoso 2010:607 [ref. 30972]). Current status: Valid as Platystacus Bloch 1794. Aspredinidae: Aspredininae.
