Taxonomic Decision for Synonymy
- Jordan, D.S. & Seale, A. 1906. The fishes of Samoa. Description of the species found in the Archipelago, with a provisional checklist of the fishes of Oceania. Bulletin of the Bureau of Fisheries (U.S.) for 1905 25: 173-455 figs 1-111 pls 33-53 [346] (regarded acuminatus as having page priority over microlepidotus; note that it is unlikely that this reference is the first reviser, but acuminatus is accepted here because it has been in use for over 100 years)
