GENERIC NAMES OF THE FAMILY STAPHYXINIDAE 139 



ECHIASTER Erichson— Continued 



Discussion: This name was validated by Erichson in the first part of his 

 Genera et Species Staphylinorum by inclusion in a key. No species were 

 mentioned. The next reference is in the second part of the same work, 

 published in 1840, in which two species were described. Duponchel 

 properly selected one of these as genotype.
