Nomenclatural status orthographia [details]
Taxonomic remark Homonym of Scatophagidae Bleeker, 1876 (Osteichthyes). Based on misspelled type genus name, correctly Scathophagus hence correct spelling is Scathophagidae. Scatophagidae also attributed to Brauer, 1883, apparently a later usage. [details]
