“…", which apparently means that Schneider wrote this part, as also indicated by Karrer et al [35]. Following Karrer et al [35], it is generally difficult to determine if Schneider wrote the whole description so that authorship would be Schneider in Bloch and Schneider, 1801, or if Schneider just added part of it. Given this uncertainty, the authorship for Trygon imbricata is retained as Bloch & Schneider, 1801.…”

“…A dry-mounted, adult male ZMB 7585 specimen with 'Coromandel' written on its base board was assumed to be the type [9]. Earlier, Karrer et al [35] noted that the species was described without any type specimen being designated albeit indicating that the description referred to a male specimen slightly exceeding 1 foot long (~305 mm) from Coromandel, India. This specimen, which has suffered significant damage probably from insect attack (Figure 7), has been examined on several occasions by one of us (PL); the disc width was estimated to be ~125 mm and the length closer to 250 mm than 300 mm.…”

Members of the genus Brevitrygon are small, locally abundant tropical stingrays (family Dasyatidae) occurring in soft sedimentary habitats of inner continental shelves of the Indo-West Pacific from the Red Sea to Indonesia. Formerly members of the genus Himantura, whose members lack dorsal and ventral skin folds on the tail (typical of most dasyatid genera), folds are present or rudimentary in some Brevitrygon. Important to artisanal fisheries and known to consist of at least five species, these fishes are possibly the most frequently misidentified of all stingrays. Most were inadequately described in the 19th century, and they are often taxonomically confused due to morphological similarity, ontogenetic variability, and sexual dimorphism. Their nomenclatural history is complex with four of the known species represented within the type series of one species, B. walga (Müller & Henle). Also, the type of the species with which B. walga is most often confused, B. imbricata (Bloch & Schneider) from off southern India and Sri Lanka, is in very poor condition. A lectotype has been designated for B. walga (confined to the Bay of Bengal). The genus also contains B. heterura (Bleeker) from the Indo-Malay Archipelago, B. javaensis (Last & White) from off southern Indonesia, and a new species, B. manjajiae sp. nov., from the western Indian Ocean. The former species are redescribed and redefined based largely on a combination of morphometrics, tail morphology, squamation, and molecular data. Molecular divergences were detected within lineages of B. heterura, B. walga and B. manjajiae sp. nov., requiring further investigation.

“…It is possible that Bloch studied other specimens of G. brasiliensis (= G. broussonnetii) deposited at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, in Paris, where he was in 1797 meeting La Cepède (cf. Coquebert, 1800; La Cepède, 1802; Karrer et al, 1994). Curiously, Schneider in the addendum of Bloch & Schneider (1801: 548) described Gobius Oblongus Schneider (1801), supposedly as a replacement name for G. broussonnetii, whose holotype is supposedly deposited at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (MNHN-IC-0000-4209; the same holotype for Gobioides Broussonnetii).…”

During the Mauritian period of Dutch Brazil (1637‑1644), a great deal of information about the biota of northeastern Brazil was obtained, consisting of both written records and paintings. Among them is an eel-like fish, depicted in two paintings labeled “Caramurû” and “Caramuru”, whose taxonomic identity is controversial. One of them, attributed to Albert Eckhout, is part of the Theatrum Rerum Naturalium Brasiliae collection, stored at the Jagiellonian University Library, in Poland. This painting was possibly a model for the second “Caramuru”, of unknown authorship, which is deposited at the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences. These paintings are doubtfully identified as the snake eel Echiophis intertinctus (Ophichthidae, Anguilliformes), a proposal likely induced by the vulgar name “caramuru”, which is applied to muraenids and ophichthids in Brazil. After careful examination of these two paintings regarding the anatomical details depicted, we concluded that the fish corresponds, with great certainty, to Gobioides broussonnetii (Gobiidae, Gobiiformes), popularly known as “aimoré” and “tajasica”. Furthermore, we suggest the possibility that the written counterpart of these paintings is the description associated with the woodcut of the fish labeled as “Tajasica” in the Historia Naturalis Brasiliae (Marggraf in de Laet, 1648). The confusion probably stems from mismatches between Georg Marggraf’s descriptions and the images of organisms produced at the time, perhaps before the return of Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen’s entourage to Europe. In an attempt to support our conclusions about the identity of that fish, as well as for historical purposes, we also discuss the vernacular names applied to G. broussonnetii and the authorship of the notes made on those paintings.
