Choeroplotosus Kner [R.] 1866:545 [3] [Sitzungsberichte der Kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Classe v. 53; ref. 2636] Masc. Choeroplotosus decemfilis Kner 1867. Type by subsequent monotypy. On p. 3 of separate. Also described as new in Kner 1867:300 [ref. 2638]. In 1866:545 Kner listed one species as, "Choeroplotosus limbatus (Plotos. limbatus ? C. V.)", but in 1867 (p. 300) he described the species as Choeroplotosus decemfilis n. sp., with "Syn.? an Plotosus limbatus C. V." Apparently the genus can date to 1866:545 with no definitely-included named species, with species added in 1867; type C. decemfilis by subsequent monotypy. •Synonym of Cnidoglanis Günther 1864 -- (Ferraris 2007:346 [ref. 29155]).
