  Comment  
Replacement name for Clupea brasiliensis Steindachner, 1879 preoccupied by Clupea brasiliensis Bloch & Schneider, 1801 (Ref. 46206); but it is interpreted as a nomen protectum by Figueiredo et al. (2010). See nomenclatural details in CofF.
  Etymology of generic noun  
Latin, clupea = sardine, derived from Clupeus = shield; doubtless a reference to the scales covering the body of the fish + Greek, odous = teeth (Ref. 45335).
