Aphanacanthe Bibron [G.] in Duméril 1855:279 Masc. Not available, no description. Kottelat 2001:611 [ref. 25859] regards the name as Latinized, but not available for lack of a description or an included available species. Kottelat 2013:476 [ref. 32989] says "Gastrophysus has been used as a valid name after 1899 and therefore precedence over Takifugu cannot be reversed under Code art. 23.9; not junior homonym of Gastrophysa Dejean, 1835: 405 (nomen nudum) and Gastrophysa Gebler, 1842: 39 in Coleoptera". For stabilization, we prefer to use Takifugu for the time being. •In the synonymy of Gastrophysus Müller 1843 -- (Kottelat 2013:476 [ref. 32989]). •In the synonymy of Takifugu Abe 1949. Nomen Nudum. Current status: Synonym of Takifugu Abe 1949. Tetraodontidae.
