Remarks.

According to Solem (1959) the "holotype of pyrostomus is more slender than most of the specimens seen, but it is not too atypical. The holotype of salomonis could not be located in the British Museum". Solem based his comments on a photograph of the type and was possibly unaware of the existence of two additional specimens. His "holotype of pyrostomus " is here interpreted as a lectotype designation (Art. 74.6 ICZN), overruling the subsequent designation by Breure and Schouten (1985: 59).
