Sorsogona Tuberculata
The tuberculated flathead (''Ratabulus tuberculatus'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Platycephalidae, the flatheads. This species is found in Indian and Western Pacific Oceans. Taxonomy The tuberculated flathead was first formally described in 1829 as ''Platycephalus tuberculatus'' by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier with the type locality given as Trincomalee in Sri Lanka. In 1934 the Norwegian born American zoologist Albert William Herre described a new species, ''Sorsogona serrula'', and classified it within a new monotypic genus, ''Sorsogona''. Herre's name is a junior synonym of Cuvier's ''P. tuberculatus'' and this species has been regarded as the type species of ''Sorsogona''. However, some authorities do not recognise ''Sorsogona'' as a valid genus and classify its species within the genus ''Ratabulus''. Other authorities continue to recognise ''Sorsogona'' as a valid genus. The specific name ''tuberculatus'' refers to the bony tubercl ...

Sorsogona Prionota
The halfspined flathead (''Ratabulus prionotus'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Platycephalidae, the flatheads. This species is found in the western Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. Taxonomy The halfspined flathead was first formally described as ''Platycephalus prionotus'' in 1873 by the French zoologist Henri Émile Sauvage with its type locality given as the Red Sea, or possibly Madagascar. There is some uncertainty about its classification as some authorities classify this species in the genus ''Sorsogona''. Its specific name ''prionotus'' means “jagged” or “serrated”, and may be an allusion to the fine serrations on the bony ridges over and under the eye. Description The halfspined flathead has an elongated body with a flattened head with obvious ridges on the upper and lower parts of the operculum. There are three large and two small preopercular spines which are under half the length of the larger spines. The ridge above the e ...

Platycephalidae
The Platycephalidae are a family of marine fish, most commonly referred to as flatheads. They are relatives of the popular lionfish, belonging to the order Scorpaeniformes. Taxonomy Platycephalidae was first proposed as a family in 1839 by the English naturalist William John Swainson. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this family within the suborder Platycephaloidei in the order Scorpaeniformes. Other authorities differ and do not consider the Scorpaeniformes to be a valid order because the Perciformes is not monophyletic without the taxa within the Scorpaeniformes being included within it. These authorities consider the Platycephalidae to belong to the suborder Platycephaloidei, along with the families Bembridae, Parabembridae, Hoplichthyidae and Plectrogeniidae within the Perciformes. Genera Platycephalidae has the following genera classified within it: Platycephalidae has been divided into as many as 5 subfamilies by some authors but Fishes of the Wo ...

Ratabulus
''Ratabulus'' is a genus of marine fish, marine, Demersal fish, demersal ray-finned fish belonging to the family (biology), family Platycephalidae. These fishes are native to the eastern Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Ratabulus'' was first formally proposed as a Monotypic taxon, monotypic genus in 1924 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Carl Leavitt Hubbs with ''Thysanophrys megacephalus'', which had been Species description, described in 1917 by Shigeho Tanaka from a type specimen obtained at a fish market in Tokyo, designated as its type species. This genus is Taxonomy (biology), classified within the family Playtcephalidae, the flatheads which the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies within the suborder Platycephaloidei in the Order (biology), order Scorpaeniformes. Etymology ''Ratabulus'' did not have its etymology explained by Jordan and Hubbs, however, the name was also spelled as ''Rutabulus'' by them, likely to deriv ...

Synonym (taxonomy)
The Botanical and Zoological Codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently. * In botanical nomenclature, a synonym is a scientific name that applies to a taxon that (now) goes by a different scientific name. For example, Linnaeus was the first to give a scientific name (under the currently used system of scientific nomenclature) to the Norway spruce, which he called ''Pinus abies''. This name is no longer in use, so it is now a synonym of the current scientific name, '' Picea abies''. * In zoology, moving a species from one genus to another results in a different binomen, but the name is considered an alternative combination rather than a synonym. The concept of synonymy in zoology is reserved for two names at the same rank that refers to a taxon at that rank - for example, the name ''Papilio prorsa'' Linnaeus, 1758 is a junior synonym of ''Papilio levana'' Linnaeus, 1758, being names for different seasonal forms of the species now referred to as ''Araschnia l ...

Catalog Of Fishes
Catalog of Fishes is a comprehensive on-line database and reference work on the scientific names of fish species and genera. It is global in its scope and is hosted by the California Academy of Sciences. It has been compiled and is continuously updated by the curator emeritus of the CAS fish collection, William N. Eschmeyer. The taxonomy maintained by the Catalog of Fishes is considered authoritative and it is used as a baseline reference for instance by the broader global fish database FishBase, which involves cross-references to the Catalog's information for all accepted taxa. , the searchable catalogue contains entries for about 58,300 fish species names, about 33,400 of which are currently accepted (valid), and for some 10,600 genera (5,100 valid).

Type Species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen(s). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name that has that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have such types.

FishBase
FishBase is a global species database of fish species (specifically finfish). It is the largest and most extensively accessed online database on adult finfish on the web.Marine Fellow: Rainer Froese ''Pew Environment Group''. Over time it has "evolved into a dynamic and versatile ecological tool" that is widely cited in scholarly publications. FishBase provides comprehensive species data, including information on taxonomy, geographical distribution, biometrics and morphology, behaviour and habitats, e ...
