Lissochilus is a genus of extinct marine snails in the family Neritidae, originally described as a subgenus of its type genus, Nerita, in 1882.[a] Despite first being named by one Pethö in a manuscript, that work was only published in 1906, making Zittel the first author who made this name available.[1]
A genus of cyprinid fish was named in 1916 and also dubbed Lissochilus; due to taxonomic rules dictating the need for priority, this name is invalid, being a junior synonym of Lissochilus Zittel, 1882. The species assigned to it were subsequently moved to other genera, such as Acrossocheilus, Hypsibarbus, Poropuntius, and Neolissochilus.[3]
