Charax gracilis Gronovius, 1854
Charax gracilis Gronovius, in Gray, 1854:154. Type locality: Habitat in fluminibus Americes Meridionalis. No types known.
Salmo gronovii Walbaum, 1792:83, 659. Type locality: America. No types known. In the description of Salmo gronovii, Walbaum (1792:83) repeated the passage by Gronovius (1763) referring to species 377 (= Charax gracilis in Gray, 1854). In the description presented by Walbaum there is no indication that it is a species other than C. gracilis. Remarks: Charax gracilis (= Charax 377 of Gronovius, 1763 (in Gray, 1854) was described as lacking a humeral blotch (“macula atra lateribus nulla”), having a curved lateral line (“linea laterali curva”) and an oblong body (“corpore oblongo gracili”), features that are not present in species of the genus Charax. Other species proposed by Gronovius in Charax, are currently included in other characiform families.
