NOMENCLATURE AND IDENTITY OF THE TONGUE SOLES PARAPLAGUSIA BILINEATA, "CYNOGLOSSUS BILINEATUS" AND PARAPLAGUSIA BLOCHII (TELEOSTEI: PLEURONECTIFORMES)

Pleuronectes bilineatus Bloch, 1787 (now Paraplagusia bilineata), "Cynoglossus bilineatus (La Cepede, 1802)", and Paraplagusia blochii Bleeker, 1851, are objective synonyms as they are based on the same type material. "Achirus bilineatus La Cepede, 1802" was not proposed as a new species but was a new combination of Pleuronectes bilineatus. Paraplagusia blochii was not a new species but a new replacement name for Pleuronectes bilineatus. "Cynoglossus bilineatus (La Cepede, 1802)" should be called C. quadrilineatus (Bleeker, 1851). Paraplagusia bleekeri, new species, is proposed for the species erroneously called Paraplagusia blochii by earlier authors.
