Shosaifugu (subgenus of Sphoeroides) Abe [T.] 1950:199 Masc. Tetraodon vermicularis Temminck & Schlegel 1850. Appeared in Abe 1949:92 (in key) [ref. 3] with 4 included species but no definite type fixation; therefore not available from Abe 1949. Type fixed by Abe 1950:199 with bibliographic reference to Abe 1949; name dates to Abe 1950. 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. •Synonym of Gastrophysus Müller 1843 -- (Kottelat 2013:476 [ref. 32989]). •Synonym of Takifugu Abe 1949 -- (Masuda et al. 1984:363 [ref. 6441], Matsuura 1990:17 [ref. 13815]). Current status: Synonym of Takifugu Abe 1949. Tetraodontidae.
