Abstract
Perca argentea Linnaeus, 1758 and Perca vaila Osbeck, 1770 were cited in a number of early compilations of fi shes, either as valid taxa or as synonyms, but disappeared from the literature after 1804. They are demonstrated here to represent senior synonyms of the Terapon theraps (Cuvier, 1829) and Dicentrarchus punctatus (Bloch, 1792), respectively. Perca argentea and P. vaila are here invalidated under Article 23.9.1 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Perca indica [Gronow] Gray is shown to be a junior synonym of Terapon theraps.
