Taxonomic remark n.n. pro Otolithus Koken 1884 (Nomen. Zool.). From Stringer et al., 2020: The collective group name Otolithopsis was introduced by Huddleston (1983) in compliance with the ICZN rules for all those instances where a given fossil otolith-based species could not be associated with any teleost group. It replaces the previously used name Otolithus Koken, 1884 which was preoccupied by Otolithus Cuvier, 1829 (syn. Otolithes Oken, 1817), a genus of the family Sciaenidae. [details]
