Type by absolute tautonymy. Cuvier stated (p. 463), "...je nommerai equula"; it was Cuvier's style in this article to begin generic names with a lower case letter. Chakrabaarty & Sparks 2008:5 [ref. 29788] treated a valid Equula but they had the wrong type-species, and the genus Equula is an objective synonym of Leiognathus [see also remarks under Aurigequula Fowler 1918]. •Valid as Equula Cuvier 1815 -- (Chakrabarty & Sparks 2008: 5 [ref. 29788] but with the wrong type species). •Synonym of Leiognathus Lacepède 1802 -- (Tortonese 1973:390 [ref. 7192], James 1978:141 [ref. 5317], Jones 1985:571 [ref. 21842], Kottelat 2013:339 [ref. 32989]).

Glaucus rondeletii Bleeker 1863 (= Scomber glaucus Linnaeus 1758). Type by monotypy. Genus based on Glaucus of earlier authors (not available) and species on non-binominal Glaucus primus Rondeletii of Willughby 1686:Pl. S.15, fig. 1 [ref. 30164], with S. glaucus Linnaeus in synonymy; Bleeker's action creates a genus and species dating to Bleeker. •Synonym of Trachinotus Lacepède 1801 -- (as treated by Hureau & Tortonese 1973:383 [ref. 7198]).

Type by original designation (also monotypic). Glaucus Klein is unavailable, as are Klein's genera reprinted in condensed form in Walbaum 1792 (Opinion 21); Fowler's action creates a genus Glaucus credited to Fowler 1906. With type as above this would be a synonym of Lichia Cuvier 1816 -- (as treated by Hureau & Tortonese 1973:377 [ref. 7198]). Current status: Synonym of Lichia Cuvier 1816. Carangidae: Trachinotinae.

Appeared without description as "Gnathanodon speciosus Blkr. = Caranx speciosus CV.", but new name plus existing species is sufficient for availability.

Jordan (1919:317 [ref. 4904]) states that this is a replacement for Seriola Cuvier 1816 (type Seriola dumerili), but there is no evidence in the original description that this is the case, and zonatus is clearly designated type. •Synonym of Seriola Cuvier 1816 -- (Smith-Vaniz, pers. comm.).

But Gill used the spelling Orycnus and the suffix orycnus in other genera, so it probably cannot be regarded as a misspelling, and these Gill's names would need to be submitted to the ICZN to conserve spelling as "orcy". •Valid as Orcynopsis Gill 1862 -- (Postel 1973:474 [ref. 7208], Collette & Chao 1975:591 [ref. 5573], Collette et al. 1984:600 [ref. 11421], Collette in Whitehead et al. 1986:987 [ref. 13676], Collette et al. 2001:10 [ref. 25629], Collette 2003:6 [ref. 27312], Lipej & Dulčić 2010:70 [ref. 36649]).
