japonicus, Scomber pneumatophorus Temminck [C. J.] & Schlegel [H.] 1844:93, Pl. 47 (figs. 1-2) [Fauna Japonica Parts 5-6; ref. 4372] Japan. Syntypes: RMNH D834 (1, dry), D836 (1, dry), D894 (1, dry), 1274 (5). Regarded by Boeseman 1964:462 [ref. 20805] as proposed for a subspecies distinct from Scomber japonicus Houttuyn 1782, and with infra-subspecific names major and minor; Boeseman lists types in the Leiden collection. In any case, the name is objectively invalid; preoccupied by Scomber japonicus Houttuyn. •Incertae sedis in Scombridae -- (Collette 2003:21 [ref. 27312]). 1°Homonym. Scombridae: Scombrinae.
