GENERIC NAMES OF THE FAMILY STAPHYLINIDAE 95 



CARPELIMUS Leach— Continued 



Notes : Most recent writers who have accepted this name (usually as a 

 subgenus only) have used the later spelling Carpalimus. Tottenham 

 states that since Carpalimus Stephens is an error for Carpelhnus Sam- 

 ouelle, the type of Carpalimus is also the type of Carpelimus. This is a 

 curious combination of errors, for there is no such name as Carpalimus 

 (a misspelling), and it cannot have a genotype. The spelling Carpalimus 

 must be credited to Curtis ; Carpelimus must be credited to Leach ; and 

 the type of Carpelimus is fixed as the first included species. 

 CARPHACIS des Gozis, 1886, p. 14. [Subgenus of Lordithon.-] 

 Genotype: Carphacis striatus (Olivier) (Staphylinus). 

 Fixed ly : des Gozis, 1S8G, p. 14, through objective synonymy with Mega- 

 cronus of Thomson (not Stephens), for which he designated striatus as 

 genotype. 

 Later citations: C. striatus (Olivier), by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 380, 

 Synonyms: (See Lordithon). 



Notes : Proposed as a replacement for Megacronus as misused by Thomson 

 and by Fauvel.
