Acarauna Sevastianoff [A.] 1802:357, 364 [Nova Acta Academiae Scientiarum Imperialis Petropolitanae v. 13 (for 1796); ref. 4011] Fem. Acarauna longirostris Sevastianoff 1802. Type by monotypy. •Synonym of Gomphosus Lacepède 1801 -- (Parenti & Randall 2000:18 [ref. 24943]). Current status: Synonym of Gomphosus Lacepède 1801. Labridae.

Elops Bonaparte [C. L.] (ex Commerson) 1831:178 [Saggio di una distribuzione metodica degli animali vertebrati; ref. 4978] Masc. Gomphosus tricolor Quoy & Gaimard 1824. Appeared as "Elops, Commers. (Gomphosus, Lacep.)" but not recorded by Bonaparte as "Nob." which was his style for replacement names. Not available. Jordan regarded as of doubtful elegibility and as a substitute for Gomphosus. Current status: Synonym of Gomphosus Lacepède 1801. Labridae.

Gomphosus Lacepède [B. G. E.] 1801:100 [Histoire naturelle des poissons (Lacepède) v. 3; ref. 2710] Masc. Gomphosus caeruleus Lacepède 1801. Type by subsequent designation. Type designated by Jordan 1917:61 [ref. 2407]. Also appeared in Sonnini 1803:108 (vol. 8) [ref. 30473]. Some species of Gomphosus, including the type species, are found to be nested within Thalassoma Swainson 1839, so a generic rearrangement of both genera is needed, Bernardi et al. 2014:373 [ref. 27454]. •Valid as Gomphosus Lacepède 1801 -- (Araga in Masuda et al. 1984:205 [ref. 6441], Randall 1986:693 [ref. 5706], Parenti & Randall 2000:18 [ref. 24943], Westneat 2001:3386 [ref. 26277], Allen et al. 2006:1389 [ref. 29095], Kuiter 2010:208 [ref. 35285], Fricke et al. 2018:282 [ref. 35805], Golani & Fricke 2018:124 [ref. 36273], Fricke et al. 2019:227 [ref. 36673]). Current status: Valid as Gomphosus Lacepède 1801. Labridae.

Thalassoma (subgenus of Zyrichthys) Swainson [W.] 1839:172, 224 [The natural history and classification v. 2; ref. 4303] Neut. Scarus purpureus Forsskål 1775. Type by monotypy. Subgenus should have been spelled Xyrichtys. Some species of Gomphosus Lacepède 1802, including the type species, are found to be nested within Thalassoma, so a generic rearrangement of both genera is needed, Bernardi et al. 2014:373 [ref. 27454]. •Valid as Thalassoma Swainson 1839 -- (Bauchot & Quignard 1973:441 [ref. 7204], Richards & Leis 1984:544 [ref. 13668], Araga in Masuda et al. 1984:205 [ref. 6441], Randall & Edwards 1985:14 [ref. 17448], Randall 1986:703 [ref. 5706], Quignard & Pras in Whitehead et al. 1986:940 [ref. 13676], Randall & Mee 1994:302 [ref. 21641], Allen 1995:75 [ref. 21960], Parenti & Randall 2000:44 [ref. 24943], Westneat 2001:3386 [ref. 26277], Westneat 2003:1703 [ref. 27105], Bernardi et al. 2004:369 [ref. 27454], Allen et al. 2006:1413 [ref. 29095], Kuiter 2010:183 [ref. 35285], Lipej & Dulčić 2010:55 [ref. 36649], Parenti & Randall 2011:36 [ref. 31299], Fricke et al. 2018:293 [ref. 35805], Golani & Fricke 2018:130 [ref. 36273], Brown et al. 2019:174 [ref. 36444], Fricke et al. 2019:238 [ref. 36673]). Current status: Valid as Thalassoma Swainson 1839. Labridae.
