“…Nominal species described by Leiocassis fluviatilis Day (1888: 805) has been treated as a synonym of B. tengana by Hora & Law (1941). Its syntypes are apparently lost (Whitehead & Talwar, 1976;Eschmeyer, 1998). The original description of L. fluviatilis is brief and not very informative.…”

“…Later, Day (1875) described Sebastes stoliczkae as a new species based on the holotype from the Nicobar Islands in the Andaman Sea. Although the holotype of S. stoliczkae was lost during WWII (see Chopra, 1947;Whitehead and Talwar, 1976), the nominal species has been regarded as a junior synonym of S. vaigiensis, based on the original description and drawing. Therefore, the only currently recognized member of Centrogenys (also the family Centrogenyidae) is C. vaigiensis, which has been recorded as widespread in the Indo-West Pacific region, ranging from Mauritius east to New Guinea and Australia and north to southern Japan (Gill, 1999;Matsunuma et al, 2017).…”

A taxonomic revision of the genus Centrogenys (family: Centrogenyidae), having previously been regarded as monotypic (also monotypic family) represented by Centrogenys vaigiensis, resulted in the recognition of three species, including two new species from Australia, Centrogenys algrahami, new species, and Centrogenys pogonoskii, new species. The two other nominal species of the genus, Centropristes scorpenoides and Sebastes stoliczkae, were regarded as junior synonyms of C. vaigiensis. Centrogenys vaigiensis is readily distinguished from the two new species by lacking scale patches on the membranes between dorsal-fin spines (a small patch of scales present on each interspinous membrane of the third to last dorsal-fin spines in the two new species). Centrogenys algrahami, new species, is characterized by having fewer body scales, including 31-36 pored lateral-line scales (vs. 37-44 in C. vaigiensis and 39-46 in C. pogonoskii, new species) and 31-36 scale rows in longitudinal series (vs. 36-43 and 39-47), and a slightly greater number of pectoralfin rays 14-16 (modally 15; vs. 12-15 [modally 14] in C. vaigiensis and C. pogonoskii, new species). Moreover, C. pogonoskii, new species, is distinguished from the two congeners by the presence of squamation on the lateral side of the snout (in specimens .34 mm SL), whereas it is naked in the congeners. The status of the three species resulting from the morphological analysis was also strongly supported by molecular evidence of a partial sequence of the COI gene. Centrogenys vaigiensis is widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific, ranging from Mauritius east to Indonesia and north to southern Japan. In contrast, Centrogenys algrahami, new species, and Centrogenys pogonoskii, new species, are restricted to Australia.

“…Blyth was the curator of the museum of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, and types of the fishes he described were initially deposited at the Society's museum; this material was subsequently transferred to the Indian Museum (now the Zoological Survey of India (Whitehead & Talwar, 1976). Hora (1950) Day (p. 453) commented that "Berdmore sent 5 or 6 specimens to the Calcutta Museum".…”

“…This type material is also not mentioned in the catalogue of fish types in that collection (Menon & Yazdani, 1968). The fish collections of the ZSI suffered extensive loss and damage as a result of a flood when the collection was temporarily housed in Benares during the Second World War (Chopra, 1947;Whitehead & Talwar, 1976), and the type(s) of H. filamentosa might have been lost at that time or is(are) mislabelled or misplaced. It is not known if Hora examined ZSI 585 before or after the war.…”

A review of the catfish genus Hara, with the description of four new species (Siluriformes: Erethistidae). -Species of the erethistid catfish genus Hara are reviewed in this study. Eight species are recognized: Hara filamentosa, H. hara, H. horai, H. jerdoni, H. longissima, H. mesembrina, H. minuscula, and H. spinulus, of which the latter four are described as new herein. Erethistes maesotensis is a junior synonym of Hara filamentosa, and H. saharsai and H. serrata junior synonyms of H. hara. A neotype is designated for H. filamentosa Blyth, 1860 and a lectotype is designated for Hara horai Misra, 1976.
