 Oenotype: Ooerius olens (Miiller) (Staphylinus). 

 Fixed by : Westwood, 1827, p. 58, by monotypy. 



Later citations: O. olens (Miiller), by Westwood, 1838a, p. 15; by Shuckard,

 Tottenham, 1949b, p. 374. 

 Discussion : The designation by Blackwelder was made in ignorance of those 

 of Westwood and of Thomson, and under the assumption that Stephens' 

 1829 publication was the first. However, Curtis, 1829, is earlier, and 

 Westwood, 1827, still earlier. Curtis did not include olens.
