BROUNIANA Blackwelder, new name. 



Oenotype: Bronnianw vulcanica (Cameron) (Brounia). 



Fixed by: Blackwelder, here, through objective synonymy with Brounia, of 



which vulcanica is herein fixed as genotype. 

 Synonyms : 



Beounia Cameron, 1945b, p. 176. [Objective. Not Sharp, 1878.] 

 BROUNIELLUM Bernhauer, 1939c, p. 198, 



Genotype: Brounielliim hirtcllutn Bernhauer. 

 Fixed by : Bernhauer, 1939c, p. 19S, by original designation. 

 BRUNDINIA Tottenham, 1949, p. 78. [Subgenus of Ischnopoda.] 

 Genotype: Brundinia elongatula (Gravenhorst) (Aleochara). 

 Fixed by: Blackwelder, here, by designation for the objective synonym 



Metaxya. 

 Other citations: B. meridionalis (Mulsant and Key), by Tottenham, 1949a, 



p. 78 ; 1949b, p. 391 ; not available ; see Metaxya. 

 Synonyms: {See also Ischnopoda) 



Metaxya Mulsant and Rey, 1873b, p. 181. [Objective. Not Walk'^r, 

 1856.] 

 BRYOBIOTA Casey, 1893, p. 367. 



Genotype: Bryobiota bicolor (Casey) (Phytosus). 

 Fixed by : Casey, 1898, p. 868, by monotypy. 

 Later citations : B. bicolor (Casey), by F'enyes, 1918, p. 21. 

 BRYOCARIS [Error for Bryocharis]. 

 BRYOCHARIA [Error for Bryocharis]. 



BRYOCHARIS Boisduval and Lacordaire, 1835, p. 502. [Synonym of BolitoUus.] 

 Oenotype: Bryocharis a nalis (Fabricius) iStaphylinus) . 

 Fixed by: Boisduval and Lacordaire, 1835, p. 502, by original designation 



and monotypy. 

 Later citations: B. analis (Paykull), by Thomson, 1859, p. 47; by Lucas, 



1920, p. 151 ; by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 378. 

 Discussion : The analis of Paykull is said to be different from the analis of 

 Fabricius. But Paykull credited his analis to Fabricius, and Boisduval 

 and Lacordaire definitely cite the analis of Fabricius. 

 Synonyms: (See Bolitobius) . 

 Variant spellings : 



Broocharis Fiori, 1915b, p. 57. 

 Bryocaris Bertolini, 1872, p. 55. 

 Bryochaeia Roubal, 1909, p. 185.'° 

 BRYONOMUS Casey, 1885, p. 313. [Subgenus of Catius.] 

 Genotype: Bryonomus canesccns (Miiklin) (Cafius). 

 Fixed by : Blackwelder, 1943, p. 435, by subsequent designation. 

 Synonyms: (See Cafius). 

 BRYOPHACIS Reitter, 1909, p. 102. [Subgenus of Bryoporus.] 

 Genotype: Bryophacis riifns (Erichson) (Bolitobius). 

 Fixed by : Reitter, 1909, p. 102, by monotypy. 

 Later citations: B. rufus (Erichson), by Tottenham, 1939b, p. 228; by 



Blackwelder, 1943, p. 526 ; by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 378. 

 Discussion : Reitter lists two synonyms under rufus. Apparently Tottenham 

 considered that all three of these names were available as genotype. 

 However, Reitter included only one species in the genus (from his point 

 of view) and called that one rufus. It appears to me to be inescapable 

 that this be considered a monobasic genus. 

 Synonyms : ( See Bryoporus ) .
