Mormyrynchus Swainson, 1839:186 , 291. Type species: Mormyrynchus gronoveii Swainson, 1839 . Type by monotypy. Gender: Masculine. Additional comments: Swainson 1839:291 argued this to be a replacement name because Anostomus was preoccupied by Lamarck 1822’s Anostoma , a genus of Gastropoda.
Histiodromus Gistel, 1848 :VIII. Type species: Salmo anostomus Linnaeus, 1758 . Type by being a replacement name. Gender: Masculine. Additional comments: According to Jordan (1918:337) this was a replacement for Anastomus Illiger, 1835 , a genus of birds.
Pithecocharax Fowler, 1906:319 . Type species: Salmo anostomus Linnaeus, 1758 . Type by being a replacement name. Gender: Masculine. Additional comments: Unneeded replacement name. Fowler argued that this was a replacement name because Anostomus Klein , in Walbaum, 1792, was preoccupied as Anastomus Bonnaterre, 1791 , a genus of birds. However, Walbaum’s classification did not fit the criteria of the ICZN and is currently considered invalid ( Jordan, 1963:36).
Remarks: Anostomus was first described in Gronovius (1763:122) but it is considered invalid because the classification provided in that publication is not binomial.

VIII, fig. 2), who based his study on one specimen catalogued at ZMUC under catalog number 89, and labelled as collected in Suriname. The specimen was recognized as the holotype of Salmo anostomus Linnaeus by Wheeler (1989). All other nominal species ( Anostomus gronovii Schinz, 1822 , Mormyrynchus gronoveii Swainson, 1839 , Anostomus gronovii Müller, Troschel , and Anostomus salmoneus Gronovius in Gray, 1854) are objective synonyms as those names were proposed as unjustified replacement names based on Gronovius’ (1756) description.

Species inquirendae ( Leporinus )
Anostomus pearsoni Ahl, 1937c:136 . Type locality: Laggons, Lake Rogoagua. [ Bolivia]. Syntypes: (2) CAS 61846.
Remarks: Replacement for Laemolyta fasciata Pearson, 1924 , secondarily preoccupied by Anostomus fasciatus (Spix, Agassiz, 1829) when both were in Anostomus (see Garavello, Britski, 2003:72; Mautari, Menezes, 2006:30).
Charax leucometopon Zuiew, 1789:275 , Pl. 5. Type locality: not given. [According to Zuiew (1789) the specimen used as the basis for the species description belonged to the collection of [Carl Gustaf] Dhalberg, a swedish military who worked and lived in Suriname, and used to bring zoological and botanical specimens as presents on his many visits to Sweden (Papavero, 1971). Therefore, sometimes the type locality is referred to as Suriname]. Holotype: whereabouts unknown. [Specimens from Dahlberg´s collection were sent to the Zoological Museum of the Russian Academy of Sciences Zoological Institute - RAS (Holthuis, 1959; Brandt (1864) and were also donated to King Adolf Fredrik of Sweden (Holthuis, 1959; (Kullander, pers. comm.). So far , no specimens from Dahlberg’s collections were located in institutional collections at Stockholm or Upsala (Kullander, pers. comm.), so the specimen on which Zuiew based the description of C. leucometopon could be in St. Petersburg]. Information of this nominal species was provided by C. Lucena (pers. comm.).
Remarks: The figure provided by Zuiew (1789) shows a specimen possessing a terminal mouth and body shape consistent with species of Leporinus . He described eight strong teeth on premaxillary, six (likely eight) on the dentary, 13 dorsal-fin rays (in total), 16 pectoral-fin rays, 10 pelvic-fin rays and 10 anal-fin rays. The coloration was described as body marked here and there with inconspicuous blotches (or spots). This description is not completely consistent with any species inhabiting Suriname in particular, and could best fit Leporinus friderici or Leporinus fasciatus .
Laemolyta fasciata Pearson, 1924:29 , Pl. 10 (fig. 1). Type locality: Laggons , Lake Rogoagua [ Bolivia]. Syntypes: (2) CAS 61846 (1).
Remarks: The only known specimen of Laemolyta fasciata is a juvenile (15.7 mm SL) in very poorly condition, making it difficult to determine its validity. It may belong to Leporinus due to the coloration described in the original description of the species (Mautari, Menezes, 2006:30).
Leporinus bimaculatus Castelnau, 1855:58 , Pl. 29 (fig. 1). Type locality: Rio Vermelho de Goyaz [Lectotype locality: Rio Vermelho de Goyaz, Brazil]. Lectotype: MNHN A9797 View Materials . [Designated by Britski et al., (2012:470)].
Remarks: The species is possibly junior synonym of Leporinus friderici (Britski et al., 2012) .
Leporinus multifasciatus Cope, 1878:690 View in CoL . Type locality: Peruvian Amazon. Lectotype: ANSP 21448. [Designated by Fowler (1906:329, fig. 19). Treated as holotype by Böhlke (1984:19)].
Remarks: The only known specimens of Leporinus multifasciatus (i.e., the lectotype and two paralectotypes, ANSP 21449) are juveniles (40–52 mm SL) in very poor condition, making it difficult to determine the validity of this species name. Géry (1977:159) considered as a probable synonym of Leporinus fasciatus
(Bloch, 1794).
Pithecocharax ucayalensis Fowler, 1906:320 View in CoL , fig. 16. Type locality: Peruvian Amazon or Ucayale River. Holotype: ANSP 21997 View Materials .
Remarks: Status of species based on Garavello, Britski (2003:81) who also suggested it as a possible synonym of a Leporinus species.
