Colisa Cuvier [G.] in Cuvier & Valenciennes 1831:359 [Histoire naturelle des poissons v. 7; ref. 4881] Fem. Colisa vulgaris Cuvier 1831 (= Trichopodus colisa Hamilton 1822). Type by absolute tautonymy of senior objective synonym. Cuvier's C. vulgaris is an unneeded substitute for T. colisa Hamilton. See account of Polyacanthus Cuvier and Polyacanthus Kaup. Derijst 1997:222 [ref. 23499] argues that this genus appeared first as a name in synonymy in Hamilton 1822:116 and was validated back to Hamilton 1822 by use of name by Cuvier 1831 as above; Tan & Kottelat 2009:62 [ref. 30261] disagree. •Valid as Colisa Cuvier 1831 -- (Liem 1962:37 [ref. 20932], Vierke 1986:63 [ref. 36452], Vierke 1988:94 [ref. 36453], Ataur Rahman 1989:278 [ref. 24860], Britz & Kottelat 2002:249 [ref. 26536], Ataur Rahman 2003:305 [ref. 31338]). •Synonym of Trichogaster Bloch & Schneider 1801 -- (Derijst 1997:222 [ref. 23499], Britz 2004:7 [ref. 30110], Töpfer 2008:49 [ref. 30111], Tan & Kottelat 2009:62 [ref. 30261], Kottelat 2013:456 [ref. 32989]). Current status: Synonym of Trichogaster Bloch & Schneider 1801. Osphronemidae: Trichogastrinae.

Polyacanthus Cuvier [G.] (ex Kuhl) 1829:227 [Le Règne Animal (Edition 2) v. 2; ref. 995] Masc. Trichopodus colisa Hamilton 1822. Type by subsequent designation. Jordan 1917:129 [ref. 2407] listed Trichopodus colisa Hamilton as type; then in 1919:173 [ref. 2410] Jordan designated Chaetodon chinensis Bloch as type because of earlier restriction by Cuvier & Valenciennes; Cuvier in Cuvier & Valenciennes 1831:353-364 [ref. 4881] placed colisa in a new genus Colisa, but did not establish a type for Polyacanthus. If Jordan is the earliest to validly designate a type, then the type of Polyacanthus is colisa. See Derijst 1997:222 [ref. 23499]. Preoccupied by Polyacanthus Kaup 1827, which was not used as valid after 1899; therefore reversal of precedence according to ICZN Art. 23.9 in favour of Polyacanthus Cuvier 1829. •Synonym of Trichogaster Bloch & Schneider 1801. Current status: Synonym of Trichogaster Bloch & Schneider 1801. Osphronemidae: Trichogastrinae.

Polycanthus (subgenus of Aulostoma) Swainson [W.] 1839:175, 242 [The natural history and classification v. 2; ref. 4303] Masc. Gasterosteus spinachia Linnaeus 1758. Type by monotypy. As a subgenus on p. 175, a genus on p. 242. Not Polycanthus [Polyacanthus] Swainson 1839:174, 236 (ex Kuhl), a subgenus of Colisa. •Objective synonym of Spinachia Cuvier 1816 -- (Monod 1973:286 [ref. 7193]). Current status: Synonym of Spinachia Cuvier 1816. Gasterosteidae.
