Abstract
To date, the genus Galeoides Günther, 1860 has been considered to comprise two species, G. decadactylus (type species of the genus) and G. microps Steindachner, 1869. However, examination of the holotype of G. microps showed it belongs to the genus Polynemus, being a junior synonym of P. melanochir Valenciennes in Cuvier and Valenciennes, 1831. Accordingly, Galeoides represents a monotypic genus of the family Polynemidae.
