Synaptura Megalepidoura
''Synaptura'' is a genus of soles. Most species are found in salt and brackish water in the Indo-Pacific and tropical East Atlantic, but ''S. salinarum'' is restricted to fresh water in Australia. The largest species in the genus reaches a length of . Paul Chabanaud retained the genus named ''Synaptura'' for this group and he designated ''Pleuronectes commersonnii''as its type species. This designation is incorrect according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and ''Synaptura'' as designated by Theodore Edward Cantor is a synonym of ''Brachirus''. Due to this some workers have assigned the species previously assigned to ''Synaptura'', as raised by Chabanaud to '' Dagetichthys'', a previously monotypic genus which contained just '' Dagetichthys lakdoensis''. This more broadly defined ''Dagetichthys'' for a monophyletic clade. '' Buglossidium luteum'' seems to be the most closely related taxon to ''Dagetichthys''.

Theodore Edward (Theodor Edvard) Cantor (1809–1860) was a Danish physician, zoologist and botanist. Born to a Danish Jewish family, his mother was a sister of Nathaniel Wallich. Cantor worked for the British East India Company, and made natural history collections in Penang and Malacca. Cantor was the first Western scientist to describe the Siamese fighting fish. In the scientific field of herpetology he described many new species of reptiles and amphibians. Species first described by Cantor include '' Bungarus bungaroides'' (1839), ''Bungarus lividus'' (1839), ''Channa argus'' (1842), '' Elaphe rufodorsata'' (1842), ''Euprepiophis mandarinus'' (1842), '' Hippocampus comes'' (1850), '' Lycodon effraenis'' (1847), ''Misgurnus anguillicaudatus'' (1842), ''Naja atra'' (1842), '' Oligodon albocinctus'' (1839), '' Oligodon cyclurus'' (1839), '' Ophiophagus hannah'' (1836), '' Oreocryptophis porphyracea'' (1839), ''Pareas monticola'' (1839), ''Protobothrops mucrosquamatus'' (18 ...

Henry Weed Fowler
Henry Weed Fowler (March 23, 1878 – June 21, 1965) was an American zoologist born in Holmesburg, Pennsylvania. He studied at Stanford University under David Starr Jordan. He joined the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia and worked as an assistant from 1903 to 1922, associate curator of vertebrates from 1922 to 1934, curator of fish and reptiles from 1934 to 1940 and curator of fish from 1940 to 1965.
