Genus Terapon Cuvier, 1816

Les reptiles et les poisons. Paris : Déterville Vol. 2 pp. 104-351. [295] [apparently an incorrect transliteration from the Greek word for slave, but incorrect transliteration is not grounds for emendation].
Type species:
Holocentrus servus Bloch, 1790 by subsequent designation, see Bleeker, P. 1876. Systema Percarum revisum Pars I et II. Archives Néerlandaises des Sciences Naturelles 11: 247-340 [267]. - Therapon Cloquet, H. 1819. [Poissons]. In, Levrault, F.G. (ed.) Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles. Strasbourg Vol. 15 543 pp. [299] [unjustified emmendation of Terapon. (see Vari 1978) intention is by indicating that the spelling must be Therapon; many species were described under the name Therapon, under Article 51.3.1. of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, parentheses are not to be used for a change in genus, when species are described as Therapon and later placed in Terapon].
