Accordingly, <i>Cymbacephalus parilis</i> (McCulloch 1914), having been treated as a junior synonym of <i>C. staigeri</i>, becomes the valid name of the species, because no species having priority over <i>C. parilis</i> exist.","habitat":"Coastal (0-40m)<br>Shelf Demersal (40-200m)<br>","NameVerifiedSource":"","Parent_Id":37296907,"scientificName":"Cymbacephalus parilis","kingdom":"Animalia","order":"Scorpaeniformes","otherVernacularNames":"","Reference":"","vernacularName":"Northern Rock Flathead","ChildCodes":"","RecordCreatedOn":"1997-01-01","scientificNameID_WoRMS":"urn:lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:314242","family":"Platycephalidae","standardName":"Northern Rock Flathead (AS5300)","class":"Actinopterygii","scientificNameID_AFD":"","CAAB_status":"Valid"}
