Antennarius Cuvier [G.] (ex Commerson) 1816:310 [Le Règne Animal; ref. 993] Masc. Lophius commersonii Shaw 1804. Type by subsequent designation. Type designated by Jordan 1917:104 [ref. 2407]; designation of Antennarius princeps Commerson by Gill 1863:90 [ref. 1680] should be investigated. •Synonym of Antennarius Daudin 1816 (Oct.), Cuvier is Dec. 1816 -- (see Pietsch 1984:33 [ref. 5380], Lindberg et al. 1997:214 [ref. 23547], Castellanos-Galindo et al. 2006:206 [ref. 28944]).
