Abstract The platycephalid genus Suggrundus Whitley 1930 was established as a replacement name for Insidiator Jordan and Snyder 1900 because the latter was considered to be preoccupied by Insidiator Oken 1842. Although Suggrundus has been regarded as valid, it was revealed in this study that Insidiator Oken 1842 is an unavailable name because no descriptions, definitions or indications for the name were shown. Although the name Insidiator Oken 1836 was shown in the list of a monograph, it is also unavailable because it lacked descriptions, definitions or indications. Insidiator Amyot 1845 is also an unavailable name as previously pointed out because the name was proposed in a non-binominal publication. Accordingly, Insidiator Jordan and Snyder becomes valid and Suggrundus is found to be an unnecessary replacement name. Insidiator Whitley 1930, being a junior homonym of Insidiator Jordan and Snyder, is newly recognized here as an available name because Whitley combined an unavailable generic name Insidiator Oken 1842 and available specific name insidiator from Sparus insidiator Pallas 1770 when he established Suggrundus. Repotrudis Whitley 1930 and Seychelliceps Prokofiev 2019 are synonymized here under Insidiator Jordan and Snyder. Keywords Suggrundus · Availability · Oken · Amyot · Whitley

The platycephalid genus Insidiator was established by Jordan and Snyder (1900) on the basis of Platycephalus rudis Günther 1877 (= junior synonym of Platycephalus meerdervoortii Bleeker 1860; see Matsubara and Ochiai 1955; Imamura 1996, for example). Whitley (1930) described the genus Suggrundus as the replacement name for Insidiator Jordan and Snyder, because he believed the latter to be preoccupied by Insidiator Oken 1842. After Whitley (1930), many authors recognized Suggrundus as valid (e.g., Matsubara and Ochiai 1955; Imamura 1996; Knapp 1999; Paxton et al. 2006). However, evidence is presented here that Insidiator Oken 1842 is unavailable, and Insidiator Jordan and Snyder is restored and Sugg
