Helioperca Jordan [D. S.] 1877:355 Fem. Labrus palladus Mitchill 1815. Type by original designation. Type species unjustifiably emended by Jordan to Labrus pallidus Mitchill [not Lepomis pallida Rafinesque 1820]. Type species misidentified according to Hubbs 1935 [ref. 5593]; probably should be submitted to the ICZN. Originally type given as "Labrus pallidus Mitch.

Lepiopomus Jordan [D. S.] 1877:316 Masc. Labrus auratus Linnaeus 1758. Also appeared at about the same time in ref. 2374:125-26. An unjustified emendation of Lepomis Rafinesque 1819.

Centrarchidae: Lepominae.

Pomotis Cuvier [G.] 1829:147 Fem. Pomotis vulgaris Cuvier 1829. Type by monotypy. Cuvier listed in footnote "Pomotis vulgaris, Nob., ou Labrus auritus, Lin., appelé...[with citation to Catesby]." Jordan 1917:126 [ref. 2407] indicates that Cuvier's vulgaris is Perca gibbosa Linnaeus and not auritus. Type perhaps best considered as vulgaris Cuvier 1829. Cuvier does not mention Pomotis Rafinesque 1819, and Pomotis Cuvier can be considered to be preoccupied by Pomotis Rafinesque. But type as Labrus auritus was designated by Desmarest 1856:206 [ref. 17401] -- see Whitley 1939:222 [ref. 25866] but Whitley has wrong date for Desmarest. •In the synonymy of Lepomis Rafinesque 1819 -- (Gilbert 1998:24 [ref. 23395]). 1°Homonym.
