GENERIC NAMES OF THE FAMILY STAPHYLINIDAE 229 



LYRAS [Error for Zyras]. 

 MACFIEIA Bernhauer, 1927b, p. 380. 



Genotype : Macficia cJavicomis Bernhauer. 

 Fixed by : Beruhauer, 1927b, p. 380, by monotypy. 

 MACRACANTHACNEME [Error for Makrakanthakneme]. 

 MACRALYMMA Cameron, 194.5b, p. 179. 



Ocnotype: Macralymma punctiventris Cameron. 

 Fixed by : Cameron, 1945b, p. 179, by monotyiiy. 

 MACRANUS [Error for Megacronus], 

 MACRODICAX Lea, 1923, p. 45. 



Genotype: 2Iacrodicax potens Lea. 

 Fixed by : Lea, 1923, p. 45, by monotypy. 

 Later citations : M. potens Lea, by Blackwelder, 1939, p. 119. 

 MACRODONIA Fenyes, 1918, p. 19. [Not Wasmann, 1894. Error for Micro- 



d07iia.] 

 MACRODONIA Wasmann, 1894, p. 207. [Subgenus of Bolitochara.] 

 Genotype ; Macrodonia vandepolU Wasmann. 

 Fixed by : Wasmann, 1894, p. 207, by monotypy. 

 Late?- citations: M. vandepolU Wasmann, by Fenyes, 1918, p. 23. 

 Discussion: The trivial name of the genotype was originally spelled van de 

 polli, with spaces. Since the Rules require that a trivial name be a single 

 word, I use vandepolU in preference to van-de-poUi as used by Eichelbaum. 

 Synonyms: (See BoUtochara). 

 MACROGNATHELLUS Silvestri, 194Gc, p. 20. 



Genotype : Macrognathellus paraguayensis Silvestri. 

 Fixed by : Silvestri, 1946c, p. 20, by monotypy. 



Notes : This work has not been seen. The fixation may also be by original 

 designation. 

 MACROPALPUS Cussac, 1852, p. 613. [Junior homonym of Macropalpus Ratze- 

 burg, 1844. Synonym of Coryphium.] 

 Genotype : Macropalpus pallipes Cussac. 

 Fixed by : Cussac, 1852, p. 613, by monotypy. 

 Synonyms: (See Coryphium). 

 Variant spellings: 



Maenopalpus Bertolini, 1872, p. 71. 

 MACROPHYA (Brethes, 1926, p. 17," nomen nudum). [Not Macrophya Dahl- 



bom, 1835.] 

 MACROPTERUM Gistel, 1834, p. 9. [Synonym of Megarthrus.] 



Genotype: ilacropterum macropterum (Gravenhorst) {Omalium). 

 Fixed by: Gistel, 1834, p. 9, by monotypy. 



Discussion : Gistel listed the type species as M. rufipes Gistl with Omal. mac- 

 ropterum Grav. as synonym. Although ruftpes is here validated (as objec- 

 tive synonym of macropterum) , it appears better to consider macropterum 

 as the type, especially since Gistel subsequently recognized only macrop- 

 terum. 

 Synonyms : ( See Megarthrus ) . 

 Variant spellings: 



MicEOPTEBTJS Chevrolat, 1847, p. 91. [Not Chevrolat, 1842.] 

 MACROSTENUS (Dejean, 1833, p. 64; 1837, p. 73; Gravenhorst, 1840, p. 235; 

 Chevrolat, 1846, p. 5.50; nomen nudum).
