Nephbontus Scheerpeltz, 1934, p. 1732. 



Notes : This name was proposed for a subgenus of Pseudophilonthus, with one 

 species in this subgenus and another in the typical subgenus. Since 

 Pseudophilonthus was described and has always been listed as a subgenus 

 of Philonthus, there is some doubt as to Bernhauer's intent.
