LENA Casey, 1886b, p. 211. [Synonym of Hypomedon.] 



Oenoti/pe : Lena testacea Casey. 



Fixed hy : Casey, lS86b, p. 211, by monotypy. 



Later citations : L. testacea Casey, by Lucas, 1920, p. 3G6 ; by Blackwelder, 



1939, p. 119 ; 1943, p. 260. 

 Synonyms: {See Hypomedon). 



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

 welder (1939). 

 LENCOCRASPEDUM [Error for Leucocraspedum]. 

 LEOGLUTA [Error for Liogluta}. 



LEPLA Tottenham, 1939a, p. 226. [Subgenus of BoUtochara.] 

 Genotype : Lepla lugens (Gravenhorst) (AleocMra). 

 Fixed hy : Tottenham, 1939a, p. 226, by original designation. 

 Later citations : L. lugens (Gravenhorst), by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 397. 

 Synonyms: (See Bolitochara.) 



Notes : This name was proposed as a new name ; it was actually a new sub- 

 genus of Zyras {Bolitochara), which had previously been called in error 

 Myrmedonia by some writers. 

 LEPTACIMUS [Error for Leptacinvs]. 

 LEPTACINIUS [Error for Leptacinus]. 



LEPTACINODES Casey, 1906, p. 401. [Synonym of Leptacinus.-] 

 Genotype: Leptacinodes batychrus (Gyllenhal) {Staphylinus). 

 Fixed hy : Blackwelder, 1943, p. 493, by subsequent designation. 

 Later citations: L. batychrus (Gyllenhal), by Steel, 1949, p. 269. 

 Discussion: I previously believed that Casey had originally designated a 

 genotype. However, his statement, "This genus, founded upon the Euro- 

 pean Leptacinns batychrus Gyll., and related species, differs . . ." can 

 scarcely be regarded as unambiguous genotype selection. 

 Synonyms: {See Leptacimis.) 

 LEPTACINUS Erichson, 1839a, p. 429. 



Genotype: Leptacinvs batychrus (Gyllenhal) {Staphylinus). 

 Fixed by : Erichson, lS39a, p. 429, hy monotypy. 



Later citations: L. batychrus (Gyllenhal), by Westwood, 1840, p. 156. 

 L. hrevicornis E'richson, by Duponchel, lS41a, p. 57, not originally included. 

 L. parumpunctatus (Gyllenhal), by Thomson, 1859, p. 27, not originally 

 included; by Casey, 1906, p. 399. L. batijchrus (Gyllenhal), by Lucas, 

 1920, p. 368. L. brevicornis E'richson, by Blackwelder, 1943, p. 493, not 

 originally included. L. batychrus (Gyllenhal), by Steel, 1949, p. 269; by 

 Tottenham, 1949b, p. 369. 

 Discussion : The citation by Blackwelder in 1943 was a quotation from Dupon- 

 chel, in ignorance of the citation by Westwood and the original monobasic 

 nature of the genus.
