  Comment  
Apparently not treated as valid since 1899, so the younger name (Dischistodus melanotus) is in use (Ref. 56787). The specific epithet must be spelled notop*h*thalmus. Year from Eschmeyer (CofF ver. May 2005: Ref. 54621).
  Etymology of generic noun  
Greek, di = two + Greek, schistos = fissile stone, Plinius + Greek, odous = teeth (Ref. 45335).
