 HYPOCYPUS [Error for Eypocyphtus]. 



HYPOMEDON Mulsant and Rey, 1878a, p. 152. [Subgenus of Sunius.} 

 Genotype: Ilypomedon dehilicornis (Wollaston) (Lithocliaris) . 

 Fixed hy : Blackwelder, 1939, p. 118, by subsequent designation.

Blackwelder, 1943, p. 260 ; by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 367. 

 Synonymic homonyms : 



Htpomedon Mulsant and Rey, 1878b, p. 152.

Hemimedon Casey, 1905, p. 160. 

 Lena Casey, 1886b, p. 211. 



AsTERiA Fauvel, 1889, p. 120. (Objective. Not Mueller, 1775. ) 

 Notes : The present disposition of this name is based on the study by Black- 

 welder (1939). 

 HYPONYGRUS Tottenham, 1940, p. 49. 



Genotype: Hyponygrus fracticornis (Miiller) (Staphylinus) . 

 Fixed by : Tottenham, 1940, p. 49, by original designation. 

 Later citations : H. fracticornis (Miiller) , by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 370. 

 "Notes : Tottenham proposed this name as a "nom.n." for "that section of 

 Xantholinus included by Mulsant & Rey . . . under the name Gryohyp- 

 nits" (sic). Since there is no such name as Gryohypnus (or Gyrohypnus) 

 Mulsant and Rey, this was not a new name but a new genus. 

 HYPOPHYLLADOBIUS Fauvel, 1885a, p. 34. [Synonym of Lathrobium.] 

 Genotype: Hypophylladobius elongatus (Fabricius) (Paederus) . 

 Fixed by : Fauvel, 1885a, p. 34, through objective synonymy with Lathrobium, 



of which elongatus had already been fixed as genotype. 

 Synonyms: (8ee Lathrobium) . 



Discussion : This name was cited in synonymy by Fauvel. One trivial name 

 was also used (anophthalmus Kenderesy MS), but the validation of the 

 name was by inclusion in synonymy, making it isogenotypic with Lathro- 

 bium. 

 HYPOPYCNA Mulsant and Rey, 1880a, p. 274. [Subgenus of Hapalaraea.'] 

 Genotype: Hypopycna rufula (Erichson) (Omalium). 

 Fixed by : Lucas, 1920, p. 346, by subsequent designation. 

 Later citations : H. rufula (Erichson) , by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 355. 

 Synonyms : ( See Hapalaraea).

HyrOPYCNA Mulsant and Rey, 1880b, p. 274.

Genotype : Hypostemis kiesenwetteri (Rosenhauer) (Stenus).

Later citations : H. Jciesenwetteri (Rosenhauer) , by Blackwelder, 1943, p. 209 ; 



by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 365. 

 Discussion: In 1920 Lucas failed to make an unambiguous type selection, 



although he appeared to indicate latifrons Erichson as the probable type.
