GENERIC NAMES OF THE FAMILY STAPHYLINIDAE 223 



LISPINODES Sharp, 1880, p. 53. 



Fixed by : Sharp, 18S0, p. 53, by monotypy. 



Later citations : L. explicandus Sharp, by Lucas, 1920, p. 378 ; by Blackwelder, 

 1942, p. 88. 

 LISPINUS Erichson, 1839b, p. 31. 



Genotype : Lispinus attenuatus Erichson. 



Fixed by : Duponchel, 1841a, p. 57, by subsequent designation. 



Later citations : L. attenuatus Erichson, by Chevrolat, 1846, p. 404 ; by Lucas, 



1920, p. 378 ; by Blackwelder, 1942, p. 88 ; 1943, p. 129. 

 Discussion: This genus was published without mention of species in a key 

 in the first part of Erichson's work. The first included species were those 

 seven described in the second pai't of the volume (1840), among which was 

 the species selected by Duponchel. 

 Synonymic homonyms : 



Lispinus Erichson, 1840, p. 828. 

 Synonyms : 



Pakalispinus Eichelbaum, 1913, p. 117. [Subgenus.] 

 PsEUDOLisPiNODEs Bcrnhauer, 192Gb, p. 258. [Subgenus.] 

 Spinilus Blackwelder, 1942, p. 83. \_=PseudolispinodesJ\ 

 Variant spellings : 



Lespintjs Villada, 1901, p. 34.*" 

 LiopiNUs Kraatz, 1874, p. 290.** 

 "Notes : In 1942 I believed that Pseudolispinodes was distinct from Lispinus. 

 This was an error based on a misunderstanding of the identity of the 

 genotype species. Its correction makes Spinilus a synonym of Pseudolis- 

 pinodes which is a subgenus of Lispinus.
