Name

[edit]

Aetomylaeus nieuhofii (Bloch & Schneider, 1801)

  • Neotype: .
    • Neotype designated by White et al., 2015

Type locality: East Indies.

Etymology: Spelled Raja nichofii in original text of Bloch & Schneider but corrected in corregenda (p. 579) to Raja niehofii. Apparent misspelling of nieuhofii, in honor of Johan Nieuhof (1618-1672), Dutch East India Company, whose illustration of this ray was copied by Francis Willughby in 1686, from which Bloch & Schneider’s description was based. (From The ETYFish Project). According to the Code of ICZN (Art. 32.5.1.) "If there is in the original publication itself, without recourse to any external source of information, clear evidence of an inadvertent error, such as a lapsus calami or a copyist's or printer's error, it must be corrected." Therefore, the species name had to be changed to Aetomylaeus nieuhofii.
