Cryptops coeca Hardenberg 1931
Hardenberg (1931) originally intended to name this species Cryptops coeca and provide the following as his first text on the matter:
72. Cryptops coeca Nov. spec: 1).
III. E. 571 2 specimens, IV. G. 253 3 specimens
1) A description of this new species will be published in a short time.
From this species, which is very strongly adapted to live in the mud (no eyes, tentacles on the finrays, etc.) I found only 5 specimens in total from two different places on the central bank.
The name is therefore a nomen nudum having no description. In any case the name was unavailable as it was already preoccupied in Cryptops Leach 1815:384 (Chilopoda), Cryptops Schönherr 1823:1138 (Coleoptera), Cryptops Solier 1851:235 (Coleoptera) and Cryptops Eigenmann 1894:626 (Pisces). In the same volume of the Journal (Treubia, Buitenzorg), but 290 pages later, he provided the description and also the following revealing note:
"First I proposed to give this genus the name Cryptops but Prof. C. L. Hubbs, Michigan, was so kind to inform me that this name was preoccupied. He suggested me to use the name Typhlachirus instead" (Hardenberg 1931)
A diagnosis of the genus Typhlachirus was not provided until Hardenberg (DATE).

An in-depth study of the fishes in the genus Typhlachirus is being carried out by Evseenko,S., Bolshakov,D., Bolshakova,Y., Kopylov-Guskov,Y. and Gordeeva,N. of the Laboratory of Population Genetics, Vavilov Institute of General Genetics, Moscow. Its title is: Taxonomic status of three nominal species of blind soles of the genus Typhlachirus Hardenberg (Family Soleidae) and it has been running since February 2021. See the Genbank entry for details of the work already carried out and Evseenko and Bolshakov (2018) for morphology and taxonomy of the genus.
