rhacinus, Gadus Forster [J. R.] in Bloch & Schneider 1801:56, xxvii [M. E. Blochii, Systema Ichthyologiae; ref. 471] Queen Charlotte Sound, New Zealand. Neotype: NMNZ P.9640. Type catalog: Hardy 1990:8 [ref. 18942]. Diagnosis on p. 56 under the name Gadum Rhacinum. Name Latinized to Gadus rhacinus in index, p. xxvii. Neotype designated by Paulin 1983:99 [ref. 5459]. Based on description in manuscript by Forster (Johann Reinhold Forster, 1729-1798, German explorer and naturalist of Cook's second voyage). Name apparently should be rhacinus, based on the vernacular name Rhacinus (neither a Greek nor Latin word, to be treated as an indeclinable noun). •Valid as Lotella rhacina (Forster 1801) -- (Kuiter 1993:58 [ref. 23929], Gomon et al. 1994:330 [ref. 22532], Kuiter 1997:50 [ref. 25488], Hutchins 2001:22 [ref. 25847], Paxton et al. 2006:612 [ref. 28995], Gomon 2008:309 [ref. 30616], Struthers et al. 2015:857 [ref. 34267], Hoschke et al. 2019:154 [ref. 36626]). •Valid as Lotella rhacinus (Forster 1801) -- (Paulin 1983:98 [ref. 5459], Paxton et al. 1989:300 [ref. 12442], Paulin et al. 1989:119 [ref. 24556], Cohen in Cohen et al. 1990:368 [ref. 18936], Paulin & Roberts 1992:131 [ref. 24625], Francis 1993:158 [ref. 25479], Duffy & Ahyong 2015:110 [ref. 36167]).
