Hi Bill,
Gastropteron meckeli Kosse, 1813 is the older name for Gastropteron rubrum. It is one year older than Sarcopterus ruber Rafinesque, 1814.

Thanks for your comment about its name. Lucas Cervera has made the same comment. I don't think it is quite as simple as it at first appears. I have posted my comments separately. Hopefully someone in Europe has access to Kosse, 1813 and can check whether the species name G. meckeli is actually described, or even used in that publication.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
