Diodon Linnaeus, 1758

This genus was revised by Leis (1978, ref. 5529) with additional information on nomenclature and types in Leis and Bauchot (1984, ref. 12539), and information contained there is not repeated. Only information on Diodon species described since 1978 and on noteworthy new distributional information is included here. Note that figs 9 and 17 of Leis (1978) were switched (see 1979 errata facing p. 956, US Fishery Bulletin 76[4]): fig. 9 labelled Diodon hystrix is actually D. holocanthus and fig. 17 labelled Diodon holocanthus is actually D. hystrix .
