 ELBIDUS Mulsant and Key, 1878c, p. 572. [Subgenus of Bledius.] 

 Genotj/pe: Elbidus bicornis (Ahrens) (Ouytelus).

 fixation as monotjT)y. Mulsant and Key, however, listed two other species 

 as belonging to the subgenus. 

 Synonymic homonyms :

 Synonyms : ( See Bledius) . 

 Variant spellings :

 ELEUSIS Laporte, 1835, p. 131. 



Genotype: Elevsis tibialis Laporte. 



Fixed by : Laporte, 1835, p. 131, by monotypy. 



Later citations: E. tibialis Laporte, by Lucas, 1920, p. 258; by Blackwelder,

 Notes : Priority between Elensis and Chasolium, published simultaneously, 

 is determined by the choice of the first reviser. This appears to have 

 been Fauvel (1877, p. 186), who suppressed Chasolium.
