  Comment  
After Duhamel du Monceau (1780) Part II, Sect. III, Plate XVI, fig. 4 (Grosse sardine), where the name was only in French. Recognised to be almost the same except size to Clupea pilchardus Bloch, 1795 by Cuvier himself.
  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).
