 Fixed by : Ganglbauer, 1895, p. 417, by original designation and monotypy, as 



"den brasilianischen Staphylinus versicolor Gravh." 

 Discussion : This name was validated by Nordmann through error on plate 1 

 as Diococephalus. The correct spelling was used in the text but not 

 in the nominative case. A lapsus is evident, but the spelling Discocephalus 

 appears to have been next used by Gemminger and Harold in 18C8. In 

 either form the name is unnecessary, since there are several older 

 synonyms.
