guentheri, Lagocephalus Miranda Ribeiro [A. de] 1915:Tetrodontidae p. 5 [Arquivos do Museu Nacional de Rio de Janeiro v. 17; ref. 3711] Brazil [probably erroneous, ref. 31987]. Holotype (unique): BMNH 1848.10.12.1. On p. 155 when continuously paginated. Name spelled güntheri originally but here corrected to guentheri. Based on Tetrodon lunaris var. b of Günther 1870:275 [ref. 1995]. Apparently named for A. Günther on his var. b, so guentheri would be correct. •Valid as Lagocephalus guentheri Miranda Ribeiro 1915 -- (Smith & Heemstra 1986:900 [ref. 5714] with question, Abe 1987:6 [ref. 11636], Randall 1995:403 [ref. 22896], Carpenter et al. 1997:240 [ref. 23922], Matsuura in Randall & Lim 2000:648 [ref. 25122], Manilo & Bogorodsky 2003:S124 [ref. 27377], Matsuura et al. 2011:164 [ref. 31987], Bogorodsky et al. 2014:434 [ref. 33460], Psomadakis et al. 2015:338 [ref. 34104], Matsuura & Satoh 2016:[6] [ref. 34732], Ali et al. 2018:346 [ref. 36183], Bogorodsky & Randall 2018:[22] 260 [ref. 36492], Fricke et al. 2018:388 [ref. 35805], Golani & Fricke 2018:182 [ref. 36273], Artüz & Fricke 2019:561 [ref. 36612], Eagderi et al. 2019:138 [ref. 37020], Bariche & Fricke 2020:150 [ref. 37515], Habib & Islam 2020:Supplementary table p. 30 [ref. 38321], Psomadakis et al. 2020:622 [ref. 37272], Golani 2021:89 [ref. 38303], Kovačić et al. 2021:63 [ref. 39014], Kaleshkumar et al. 2021:[4] [ref. 38263], Matsuura 2022:469 [ref. 40261]).
