Genera that contain: Scolopsis [ 4 ] records

Ctenoscolopsis (subgenus of Scolopsis) Fowler [H. W.] 1931:273, 300 [Bulletin of the United States National Museum No. 100, v. 11; ref. 1407] Fem. Holocentrus ciliatus Lacepède 1802. Type by original designation (also monotypic). •Synonym of Scolopsis Cuvier 1814 -- (Russell 1990:96 [ref. 19228], Kottelat 2013:349 [ref. 32989], Russell et al. 2022:503 [ref. 39103]). Current status: Synonym of Scolopsis Cuvier 1814. Nemipteridae.

Parascolopsoides (subgenus of Scolopsis) Smith [J. L. B.] 1953:260 [The sea fishes of southern Africa. Revised enlarged edition; ref. 19760] Masc. Scolopsis eriomma Jordan & Richardson 1909. Type by original designation (also monotypic). •Synonym of Parascolopsis Boulenger 1901. Current status: Synonym of Parascolopsis Boulenger 1901. Nemipteridae.

Scolopsides Cuvier [G.] 1829:178 [Le Règne Animal (Edition 2) v. 2; ref. 995] Masc. Scolopsides kurita Cuvier 1829. Type by subsequent designation. Type apparently designated first by Jordan 1917:128 [ref. 2407]; kurita is available from 1829 by reference to Russell. Earlier called Scolopsis by Cuvier. Kotelat (2013:349) treats as a misspelling of Scolopsis. •Synonym of Scolopsis Cuvier 1814 -- (Russell 1990:96 [ref. 19228], Kottelat 2013:349 [ref. 32989], Russell et al. 2022:503 [ref. 39103]). Current status: Synonym of Scolopsis Cuvier 1814. Nemipteridae.

Scolopsis Cuvier [G.] 1814:90 [Bulletin des Sciences, par la Société Philomathique de Paris [Sér. 3] [v. 1] (for 29 Mar. 1814); ref. 4884] Fem. Scolopsis sayanus Gilliams 1824. Type by subsequent monotypy. Usually dated to Cuvier 1815:361 [ref. 1019]. In 1816:280 [ref. 993], Cuvier mentions only "le kurite" and "botche" as figured by Russell. By 1829:178 [ref. 995] Cuvier had adopted the name Scolopsides; first addition of available species in Scolopsis of 1814 is apparently Scolopsis sayanus Gilliams 1824 (Aug.), predating Scolopsis lineatus Quoy & Gaimard 1824 (18 Dec.); type would be sayanus by subsequent monotypy. Scolopsis sayanus is the freshwater North American pirate perch Aphredoderus sayanus. The ICZN should be petitioned to select another species, perhaps Scolopsis lineatus Quoy & Gaimard 1824 as type to preserve use of this genus for marine species of Nemipteridae (formerly Scolopsidae). Kottelat 2013:238 [ref. 32989] suggests that if curite Cuvier 1815 is available, then it could be the type; otherwise we need a petition. •Valid as Scolopsis Cuvier 1814 -- (Akazaki in Masuda et al. 1984:175 [ref. 6441], Russell 1986:601 [ref. 5708], Russell 1990:96 [ref. 19228], Chen 1997:345 [ref. 23444], Russell 2001:3053 [ref. 26106], Allen et al. 2006:1248 [ref. 29090], Kottelat 2013:349 [ref. 32989], Hung et al. 2017:8 [ref. 35385], Motomura et al. 2017:151 [ref. 35490], Fricke et al. 2018:211 [ref. 35805], Golani & Fricke 2018:95 [ref. 36273], Nakamura et al. 2018:222 [ref. 36223], Fricke et al. 2019:166 [ref. 36673], Nakamura et al. 2019:119 [ref. 36815], Russell et al. 2022:503 [ref. 39103]). Current status: Valid as Scolopsis Cuvier 1814. Nemipteridae.
