Taxonomic remark An available overlooked name that is older than Rhyacichthys Boulenger 1901 (Roberts 1993). Perhaps intended as Platyptera as used by Cuvier. Preoccupation with Platypterus Chandoir 1838 in Coleoptera should be investigated. May need attention by the ICZN, or continue current usage as Rhyacichthys. (refer Eschmeyer). [details]
Type species as cited Platypterus flavipinnis Valenciennes 1836 [details]
