Name

Scolopsis Cuvier, 1814

• Type species: Scolopsis sayanus Gilliams, 1824 by subsequent monotypy.
  • But see note in CoF: "Scolopsis sayanus is the freshwater North American pirate perch Aphredoderus sayanus. The ICZN should be petitioned to select another species, perhaps Scolopsis lineatus Quoy & Gaimard 1824 as type to preserve use of this genus for marine species of Nemipteridae (formerly Scolopsidae)."
