GEISTERIC NAMES OF THE FAMILY STAPHYLINIDAE 27 



later writer may have shown intent in making the same respelling. 

 Both are listed in such cases. 



12. NOTES 



Any other remarks on the validation of the genus, its authorship, 

 date, or spelling, or its use by later workers are made under this 

 heading. 



B. APPENDIX OF DOUBTFUL GENERA 



An Appendix to this list of generic names is used for those names 

 that have been placed in the Staphylinidae by some workers but which 

 may not belong there. These names are inserted in the main text in 

 their proper order, but with only a reference to the Appendix. There 

 they are treated in the same manner as described above, except that in 

 some cases the history may not be as complete, owing to the fact that 

 they have been at times treated separately from the Staphylinidae in 

 literature that would likely not have been seen. 



Included here are names that have recently been removed from the 

 Staphylinidae, such as Cephaloplectus; names that have only occasion- 

 ally been transferred to the family, such as Brathinus; names whose 

 family position is still in question, such as Inoyeylus. 



C. SYSTEMATIC LIST OF CHANGES 



Because the genotype fixations listed in the first section made neces- 

 sary a large number of name changes, some of considerable complexity, 

 it is necessary to tabulate these against the usage of some standard 

 reference work. The work used is the combined catalog of Bernhauer, 

 Schubert, and Scheerpeltz in the Coleopterorum Catalogus of Junk 

 and Schenkling. 



A complete list of the generic names in this work in systematic order 

 (as there shown) is arranged in the left-hand column with the new 

 status of each name shown in the right-hand column. 



D. LIST OF NEW NAMES PROPOSED HEREIN 



No comment needed.
