Marlina Grey [Z.] 1928:47 Fem. Tetrapturus mitsukurii Jordan & Snyder 1901. Type by monotypy.

Skeponopodus Nardo [G. D.] 1833:? Masc. Skeponopodus typus Nardo 1833. Original not examined. Type apparently by use of typus. Scheponopodus is a misspelling or unjustified emendation. •Synonym of Istiophorus Lacepède 1801 -- (de Sylva 1973:477 [ref. 7210] and Nakamura 1983:277 [ref. 5371] and Nakamura 1985:20 [ref. 20161], with type as guebucu; they also place in the synonymy of Tetrapturus Rafinesque 1810 with type as "typus"). Current status: Synonym of Tetrapturus Rafinesque 1810. Istiophoridae.

Tetrapturus Cuvier [G.] in Cuvier & Valenciennes 1832:286 Masc. In the 1990 edition of the "Genera" we had type as indicus by monotypy, but that is incorrect, since Rafinesque's belone also was included; this record should be cancelled as it was not intended as an original genus description separate from Rafinesque 1810. Istiophoridae.

Tetrapturus Rafinesque [C. S.] 1810:54 Masc. Tetrapturus belone Rafinesque 1810. Type by monotypy.
