Genus OXYTORUS Foerster 



Delolytus Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verh. 25: 189. It should be noted that 

 v. 25 of Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verh. was published in two halves; Delolytus 

 appeared in the first half and Oxytorus and Callidiotes appeared in the second half. If it 

 is subsequently shown that the first half was published before either the second half or 

 the authors separates of the entire paper, Delolytus could no longer be suppressed by 

 Oxytorus or Callidiotes.

 inclusion by Foerster, 1876. The type-species is regarded as a synonym of 0.
