 Notes: This has previously been listed as a subgenus of Staphylinus. The 

 author of this genus has been confused in several vrays. Samouelle 

 credits the name to Kirby but states that both the name and its valida- 

 tion were furnished to him by Leach. This fixes Leach as the author. 

 In 1829 Stephens credits the genus to Kirby, but must himself be 

 credited with the publication. In 1832, Stephens cites Kirby as author 

 and also gives him as author of the description ; Kirby is thus the author 

 there. Later writers have cited the author as Kirby, Stephens, or 

 Samouelle.
