Genera in the family or subfamily Harpadontidae: [ 6 ] records


Harpadon (subgenus of Saurus) Lesueur [C. A.] 1825:50 Masc. Salmo microps Lesueur 1825. Type by original designation (also monotypic). Spelled Harpodon by Cuvier 1829:314 [ref. 995]. Lesueur states, "type of a new subgenus near to Saurus"; it is somewhat unclear if he was describing Harpadon as a subgenus of Salmo or Saurus. Spelling of subfamily correctly is Harpadontinae. •Valid as Harpadon Lesueur 1825 -- (Klausewitz 1983 [ref. 6011], Okiyama 1984:207 [ref. 13644], Fujii in Masuda et al. 1984:62 [ref. 6441], Paxton et al. 1989:242 [ref. 12442], Ataur Rahman 1989:70 [ref. 24860] as Harpodon, Russell 1999:1932 [ref. 24747], Sato & Nakabo 2002:44 [ref. 25953], Ataur Rahman 2003:86 [ref. 31338] as Harpodon, Hoese et al. 2006:473 [ref. 29051], Kottelat 2013:270 [ref. 32989], Ganga et al. 2016:1 [ref. 34160], Golani & Fricke 2018:34 [ref. 36273]). Current status: Valid as Harpadon Lesueur 1825. Harpadontidae.

Harpodon Cuvier [G.] 1829:footnote on 314 Masc. Salmo microps Lesueur 1825. Original genus should have been Harpadon. Apparently an incorrect subsequent spelling of Harpadon Lesueur 1825, misquoted by Cuvier as Harpodon. •In the synonymy of Harpadon Lesueur 1825 -- (Kottelat 2013:270 [ref. 32989]). Current status: Synonym of Harpadon Lesueur 1825. Harpadontidae.

Peltharpadon (subgenus of Harpadon) Fowler [H. W.] 1934:281 Masc. Harpodon squamosus Alcock 1891.
