Taxonomic remark Name published in synonymy of Blennius saliens, but available because of later use (possibly by Bleeker 1869, Jordan & Seale 1906 and others (Art. 11.6)). An alternative view is that Alticus was part of a polynomial and not available (genus would then date to Valenciennes); see remarks under Opinion 89 in Appendix B in Eschmeyer et al. 1990. (Eschmeyer). [details]
