BOLITOBIUS Leach— Continued 



Discussion: Staphylinus analis PaykuU, 1789, is nomenclaturally the same 

 as 8. analis Fabricius, 1787. Tottenham claims that the type is analis 

 Paykull. However, the only Staphylinus analis that had been recorded 

 from Great Britain by 1819 was 8. analis Fabricius (by Mai'sham). For 

 nearly 60 years this species was believed to be a Bolitobius, although it 

 is now listed as a Quedius. Paykull did not propose any 8. analis but 

 did refer to Fabricius' species in several works, always crediting the 

 name to Fabricius. Lucas (1920) failed to designate a single species. 

 Shuckard lists the type as atricapillus Fabricius but explains that this 

 is not really the type. He apparently accepts it, however, because anaUs 

 had been made the type of another genus.

 Notes : Because of its genotype, this name must be applied to the genus for- 

 merly known as Bryocharis. The genus previously known as Bolitobius 

 now takes the name Lordithon. 

 BOLITOBROTUS Dumeril, 1860, p. 326. 



Genotype : Bolitobrotus canaliculatus Dumeril. 

 Fixed by : Dumeril, 1860, p. 326, by monotypy. 



Notes : It is probable that neither the genus nor the species can ever be 

 identified. By elimination it is likely that they represent a Tachyporine. 

 BOLITOBUS [Error for Bolitobius]. 

 BOLITOCHARA Mannerheim, 1831a, p. 489. 



Genotype: Bolitochara collaris (Paykull) (Staphylinus). 

 Fixed by : Westwood, 1838a, p. 20, by subsequent designation. 

 Later citations: B. lunulata (Paykull), by Shuckard, 1839, p. 137; by Thom- 

 son, 1859, p. 32; by Fenyes, 1918, p. 21. B. collaris (Paykull), by Totten- 

 ham, 1939c, p. 127. B. pulchra (Gravenhorst), by Tottenham, 1949b, 

 p. 386. 

 Discussion : Aleochara collaris of Gravenhorst is the same as Staphylinus 

 collaris Paykull. Staphylinus lunulatus Paykull is nomenclaturally the 

 the same as 8. lunulatus Linn6.
