 Anathrotus Stephens= (Anathratus (Stephens) Schwarz, typ. err.). 



1830, 111. Brit. Ent, Mand., vol. 3, p. 273. Ten species. 

 Type. — Athous subfuscus Muller, Faun. Fridr., p. 17, 1767. (Designation 

 Reitter, Bestim. Tab., Heft 56, p. 33, 1905.) 

 Note. — Elater analis Fabricius, Ent. Syst., vol. 1, 1775. (Designation of 



Thomson, Skand. Col., vol. 1, p. 105, 1859), not originally included. Stephens 



(1830) credits this type to Gyllenhal. 

 The reference made by Stephens to Dillwyn as the author of the genus 



is not tenable, as it refers to a set of unpublished " Memoranda relating to 



Coleopterous in.socts found in the neighborhood of Swansea, 1829." Can- 



d&ze (1860) reduces the genus to synonymy under Athous Eschscholtz, and 



reduces Athous subfuscus Stephens to synonymy under Athous viitatus 



Fabricius, but recognizes AthouK subfuscus Mxjller as valid.
