 LAVERNA Gistel, 1829, p. 1129. [Synonym of Velleius.] 



Genotype: Laverna dilatata (Fabricius) (Staphylitius). 



Fixed hy : Gistel, 1829, p. 1129, by monotypy, as "Laverna dilatata 111." 



Discussion : The identity of this species is in doubt, but the position of the 

 genus in a list, between Staphylinus and Xantholinus, makes it likely that 

 it is the species of Fabricius cited. I have not found any reference to a 

 staphylinid under this name by liliger, but I have not examined all his 

 works. 



Synonyms : ( See Velleius ) .
