Scopelus Cuvier [G.] 1816:169 [Le Règne Animal; ref. 993] Masc. Gasteropelecus humboldti Risso 1810. Type by subsequent designation. Possibly based on a misidentified type species. Type evidently first designated by Goode & Bean 1896:70 [ref. 1848] as humboldti of Risso = Myctophum punctatus Rafinesque 1810. Whitley 1953 [ref. 4718] says type is M. humboldti of Waite 1911 but not of Risso. •Synonym of Myctophum Rafinesque 1810 -- (Krefft & Bekker 1973:171 [ref. 7181], Paxton 1979:15 [ref. 6440], Castellanos-Galindo et al. 2006:260 [ref. 28944]).

Trichodon Tilesius [W. G. von] (ex Steller) 1813:468 [Mémoires de l'Académie Impériale des Sciences de Saint Pétersbourg v. 4 (for 1811); ref. 13413] Masc. Trachinus trichodon Tilesius 1813. Type by subsequent monotypy. Appeared as a name first published in synonymy of Trachinus; made available back to this date by later use as a valid taxon. Appeared under heading "Trachinus gasteropelecus vel Trichodon Stelleri" on p. 466; species as Drachinus trichodon on p. 406, and as Trachinus trichodon on Pl. 15. First subsequent valid use and technical addition of species probably by Cuvier 1829:149 [ref. 995]. Steller extensively quoted; authorship perhaps could be Steller. Also see Mecklenburg 2003:2 [ref. 27305] for remarks on authorship. Smith & Wheeler 2004:636 [ref. 28583] support placing the Trichodontidae in the Cottoidei. •Valid as Trichodon Tilesius 1813 -- (Mecklenburg et al. 2002:792 [ref. 25968], Mecklenburg 2003:1 [ref. 27305], Parin 2003:S20 [ref. 28536], Parin et al. 2014:463 [ref. 33547]).
