GENERIC NAMES OF THE FAMILY STAPHYLINIDAE 169 



GENNADOTA Casey— Continued 



Later citations'. O. puberula (Casey), by Fenyes, 1918, p. 22. 

 Discussion: Casey fixed this type by two statements, thus: "The species . . . 

 CalUcerus puberulus . . . therefore constitutes a genus . . ." "Besides 

 the type of Oennadota, a second species has recently been discovered . . ." 

 [canadensis]. 

 Variant spellings : 



Genadota Eichelbaum, 1909, p. 257. 

 GENOSEMA Notman, 1920, p. 720. 



Oenotype : Oenosema sexualis Notman. 

 Fixed by : Notman, 1920, p. 720, by virtual monotypy. 



Discussion: Notman mentioned two other species (debilis and pulchra) 

 which he believed probably should be transferred from Hoplandria. Since 

 these were doubtfully included, they are not available for genotype selec- 

 tion and the genus must be considered monobasic.

 of Brull^, 1832. Synonym of Psephidonus.] 

 Genotype: Geobius plagiatus (Fabricius) {Staphylinus). 

 Fixed by : Lacordaire, 1854, p. 136, by subsequent designation. 

 Synonyms : ( See Psephidonus) . 

 GEODROMICUS Redtenbacher, 1857, p. 244. [Synonym of Psephidonus.} 

 Genotype: Geodromicus plagiatus (Fabricius) (Staphylintts).

Geobius, of which plagiatus had already been fixed as genotype.

Genotype: Geomitopsis zariquieyi (Dodero) (Cylindropsis).

 GEOPADAERUS [Error for Geopaederus]. 

 GEOPAEDERUS Gistel, 1848, p. x. [Synonym of Paederus.] 

 Genotype: Geopaederus riparius (Linn4) (Staphylinus). 

 Fixed by: Gistel, 1848, p. x, through objective synonymy with Paederus, of 



which riparius had already been fixed as genotype. 

 Synonyms: (See Paederus). 

 Variant spellings : 



Geopadaerus Waterhouse, 1902, p. 147. 

 Notes : This name was proposed in the belief that Paederus Fabricius was 

 preoccupied by Paederia Linn^ in plants. It can be accepted under the 

 Rules only as a junior synonym.
