luteus, Chetodon Bonnaterre [J. P.] (ex Plumier) 1788:88, Pl. 92 (fig. 381) [Tableau encyclopédique et méthodique des trois règnes de la nature... Ichthyologie; ref. 4940] Antilles. No types known. Original genus should have been Chaetodon. Based on 'La dorade' in a manuscript of Plumier, described by Bloch (1787) as Chaetodon aureus; since Bonnaterre refers to Bloch, luteus is an unneeded new name for Bloch's aureus (P. Parenti, pers. comm. 10/17/2003). •Synonym of Pomacanthus arcuatus (Linnaeus 1758) -- (P. Parenti, pers. comm. 10/17/2003). Current status: Synonym of Pomacanthus arcuatus (Linnaeus 1758).
