Comment: USNM 236937 designated as neotype by (Hardy, G.S., 1983), but considerable Bleeker material is extant; note that there is some uncertainty as to earliest publication date, which affects number of syntypes, see (Eschmeyer, W.N., 1998); AM 7269 sometimes listed as possible type, but number is incorrect; also AM B.7777-7778 also listed as possible syntypes, but register indicate they are from Madras and probably not types.Type locality references:
