Synanceia Bloch [M. E.] & Schneider [J. G.] 1801:194 (xxxvii, 573) Fem. Scorpaena horrida Linnaeus 1766. Type by subsequent designation. Type designated by Desmarest 1856:215 [ref. 17401] -- see Whitley 1939:223 [ref. 25866] but Whitley has wrong date for Desmarest. Spelled originally Synanceia (p. xxxvii), Synanceja (p. 194), and Synanceia (Pl. 45), but p. 194 corrected to Synanceia in corrigenda (p. 573). Synancia Agassiz 1846:358 [ref. 64] is an unjustified emendation. •Valid as Synanceia Bloch & Schneider 1801 -- (Eschmeyer & Rama-Rao 1973 [ref. 6391], Shimizu in Masuda et al. 1984:318 [ref. 6441], Eschmeyer 1986:478 [ref. 5652], Paxton et al. 1989:452 [ref. 12442], Poss 1999:2294 [ref. 24796], Mandrytsa 2001:264 [ref. 25636], Allen et al. 2006:906 [ref. 29078], Fricke et al. 2018:138 [ref. 35805], Golani & Fricke 2018:57 [ref. 36273], Fricke et al. 2019:104 [ref. 36673], Matsunuma et al. 2021:1 [ref. 38413]).
