- To date, the genus Galeoides Günther, 1860 has been
considered to comprise two species, G. decadactylus (type species
of the genus) and G. microps Steindachner, 1869. However, examination
of the holotype of G. microps showed it belongs to the genus Polynemus,
being a junior synonym of P. melanochir Valenciennes in Cuvier
and Valenciennes, 1831. Accordingly, Galeoides represents a monotypic
genus of the family Polynemidae. Key-words. - Polynemidae - Galeoides decadactylus - Galeoides microps - Polynemus melanochir - Synonymy. |
