GENERIC NAMES OF THE FAMILY STAPHYLINIDAE 267 



OCULOLABRUS Steel, 1946, p. 107. 



Genotype : Octilolabrus sumatrensis Steel. 



Fixed hy : Steel, 1946, p. 107, by original designation and monotypy. 

 OCYBUS [Error for Ocypus]. 

 OCYNSA [Error for Ocyusa]. 

 OCYOLINUS Sharp, 1884, p. 362. 



Qenotype: Ocyolinus rugatus Sharp. 



Fixed hy : Sharp, 1884, p. 362, by virtual monotypy and direct implication. 

 Later citations : O. amethystinus Sharp, by Lucas, 1920, p. 449. 

 Discussion: Sharp described two species but left some room for question as 

 to their being congeneric. His remarks were: "The characters of the 

 genus are taken, indeed, from the Venezuelan O. rugatus * [description in 

 footnote], the fragmentary condition of the unique individual of 0. am- 

 ethystinus rendering it unfit for bearing much manipulation, but it appears 

 to be quite congeneric v?ith 0. rugatus." 

 OCYOTA Sharp, 1883, p. 163. 



Oenotype: Ocyota dubia Sharp. 



Fixed by : Sharp, 1883, p. 163, by monotypy. 



Later citations : 0. dubia Sharp, by Fenyes, 1918, p. 24.

 OCYPUS Leach, 1819, p. 172. 



Genotype : Ocypus cyaneus (Paykull) (Staphylinus) . 

 Fixed by : Leach, 1819, p. 172, by original designation and monotypy. 

 Later citations: O. cyaneus (Paykull), by Leach, 1824, p. 172. 0. similis 

 (Olivier), by Westwood, 183Sa, p. 15; by Shuckard, 1839, p. 115; not 

 originally included. 0. brtinnipes (Fabricius), by Thomson, 18.59, p. 24, 

 not originally included. O. cyaneus (Paykull), by Crotch, 1870, p. 233; 

 by Blackwelder, 1943, p. 444. 0. ophthalmicus (Scopoli), by Tottenham, 

 1949b, p. 374, not originally included. 

 Discussion: In 1920 Lucas (p. 605) lists eight species after the expression, 

 "Typ.?;", These might be considered genosyntypes if the genus were not 

 monobasic.
