Genera that contain: Ostracion [ 21 ] records

Acanthostracion (subgenus of Ostracion) Bleeker [P.] 1865:Pls. 202-204 [Atlas ichthyologique des Indes Orientales Néêrlandaises v. 5; ref. 416] Neut. Ostracion quadricornis Linnaeus 1758. Appeared first in Pls. 202-204 (in pt. 17, 8 Feb. 1865) [corresponding text (p. 28) appeared in pt. 19]. Also in Bleeker 1866:15 [ref. 417]. O. quadricornis, designated type by Bleeker (p. 28), was not figured. If relative dates are correct, then type species will change (designation not researched). •Synonym of Lactophrys Swainson 1839 -- (Robins et al. 1980:66 [ref. 7111]). •Valid as Acanthostracion Bleeker 1865 -- (Tyler 1965:2 [ref. 39939], Tyler 1965:261 [ref. 39940], Tyler 1980:239 [ref. 4477], Arai 1983:203 [ref. 14249], Smith 1986:891 [ref. 5712], Castro-Aguirre et al. 1999:509 [ref. 24550], Matsuura 2003:1981 [ref. 27119], Allen et al. 2006:1902 [ref. 29090], Matsuura 2014:17 [ref. 33576], Brown et al. 2019:182 [ref. 36444]). Current status: Valid as Acanthostracion Bleeker 1865. Ostraciidae.

Acarana Gray [J. E.] 1833:Pl. 98 (v. 2) [Illustrations of Indian zoology; ref. 1878] Fem. Ostracion auritus Shaw 1798. Type by monotypy. Spelled Acerana on legend, Acarana on Pl. 98, Acarana on Sawyer's legend page (1953:55 [ref. 6842]). Spelled Aracana by Gray 1838:110 [ref. 1884]. Acarana probably is the correct original spelling, but Aracana is in prevailing usage and therefore here used as the valid name for the genus. Kaup 1855:219 [ref. 2571] uses the spelling Acerana Gray. Possibly based on a misidentified type species. Regarded as valid but with spelling Aracana; see account of Aracana. •Different spelling of Aracana Gray 1833. Current status: Synonym of Aracana Gray 1833. Aracanidae.

Anoplocapros (subgenus of Acerana) Kaup [J. J.] 1855:220 [Archiv für Naturgeschichte v. 21 (pt. 1); ref. 2571] Masc. Ostracion lenticularis Richardson 1841. Type by subsequent designation. Type designated by Bleeker 1865:28 [ref. 416]. •Valid as Anoplocapros Kaup 1855 -- (Tyler 1980:205 [ref. 4477], Winterbottom & Tyler 1983:902 [ref. 5320], Gomon et al. 1994:892 [ref. 22532], Allen et al. 2006:1902 [ref. 29090], Matsuura 2008:842 [ref. 30661], Matsuura 2014:15 [ref. 33576], Matsuura & Middleton 2016:[1] [ref. 34882]). Current status: Valid as Anoplocapros Kaup 1855. Aracanidae.

Aracana (subgenus of Ostracion) Gray [J. E.] 1838:110 [Annals of Natural History, or Magazine of Zoology, Botany, and Geology v. 1 (no. 2); ref. 1884] Fem. Ostracion auritus Shaw 1798. Type by monotypy. "Valid" but dates to Gray 1833 [ref. 1878] as Acarana. In 1838 there were 5 included species; type designated by Bleeker 1866:15 [ref. 417] if needed. Above spelling is apparently an incorrect subsequent spelling of Acarana Gray 1833 and not a new genus name but it is in current usage. Tropigaster Billberg 1833 is a senior synonym (see Kullander 2016:109 [ref. 34147]), but Aracana Gray 1833 is in prevailing usage and therefore here used as the valid name for the genus. •Treated as valid with this spelling -- (Tyler 1980:205 [ref. 4477], Winterbottom & Tyler 1983:902 [ref. 5320], Arai 1983:202 [ref. 14249], Gomon et al. 1994:897 [ref. 22532], Lindberg et al. 1997:96 [ref. 23547], Allen et al. 2006:1903 [ref. 29090], Matsuura 2006:273 [ref. 29182], Matsuura 2008:846 [ref. 30661], Matsuura 2014:15 [ref. 33576], Matsuura & Middleton 2016:[1] [ref. 34882] dated 1833).

Type designated by Bleeker 1865:27 [ref. 416] (but genus misspelled Laetophrys); also designated by Swain 1882:282 [ref. 5966]. •Valid as Rhineosomus -- (Tyler 1980:239 [ref. 4477], Arai 1983:203 [ref. 14249], Matsuura 2003:1981 [ref. 27119]). •Valid as Lactophrys Swainson 1839 -- (Matsuura 2014:17 [ref. 33576]).

Tetragonizus Billberg 1833 is a senior synonym (see Kullander 2016:110 [ref. 34147]), but Lactoria Jordan & Fowler 1902 is in prevailing usage and therefore here used as the valid name for the genus. •Valid as Lactoria Jordan & Fowler 1902 -- (Tyler 1980:239 [ref. 4477], Arai 1983:203 [ref. 14249], Matsuura in Masuda et al. 1984:362 [ref. 6441], Smith 1986:891 [ref. 5712], Lindberg et al. 1997:106 [ref. 23547], Matsuura 2001:3949 [ref. 26317], Parin 2003:S34 [ref. 28536], Allen et al. 2006:1905 [ref. 29090], Matsuura 2014:17 [ref. 33576], Parin et al. 2014:552 [ref. 33547], Stewart & Roberts 2015:1727 [ref. 34322], Motomura et al. 2017:235 [ref. 35490], Fricke et al. 2018:382 [ref. 35805], Golani & Fricke 2018:180 [ref. 36273], Fricke et al. 2019:329 [ref. 36673]).
