 Comments
       
  Comment: Eschmeyer (online Catalog of Fishes, 2004) states, "Catesby 1771 is a rejected work, and unavailable (Opinions 89 and 259) but the appendix by Edwards is available. This species probably should date to authorship as above and not to Walbaum 1792 unless the ICZN is petitioned (or current usage is maintained)"
