GENERIC NAMES OF THE FAMILY STAPHTLINIDAE 275 



ONCOGNATHUS Lacordaire, 1854, p. 144. [Synonym of Hadrognathus.^ 

 Oenotype: Oncognathus longipalpis (Mulsant and Key) (Eugnathiis). 

 Fixed by : Lacordaire, 1854, p. 144, through objective synonymy with 



Eugnathus, of which longipalpis had already been fixed as genotype. 

 Discussion : It is possible to contend that Lacordaire was not proposing a new 

 name for Eugnathus. In this case the genus is monobasic upon longipalpis, 

 and the same result is obtained. 

 Synonyms : ( See Hadrognathus ) . 

 ONCOPARIA Bernhauer, 1936c, p. 214. 



Genotype : Oticoparia parasita Bernhauer. 

 Fixed by : Bernhauer, 1936c, p. 214, by monotypy. 



Notes : Although the extension of Article 35a to cover genera, as outlined in 

 Opinion 147, might make this name a junior homonym of Oncopareia 

 Bosquet, 1854 (Crustacea), the origin and meaning are not demonstrably 

 the same, and I prefer not to take any action. The misspelling Oncoparia 

 of Marschall, 1873, is of no interest in this connection. 

 ONCOPHORUS Eppelsheim, 1885, p. 46. [Junior homonym of Oncophorus 

 Glocker, 1850, and Rudow, 1870. Synonym of Eppelsheimius. 

 Genotype : Oncophorus pirazzolii Eppelsheim. 

 Fixed by : Eppelsheim, 1885, p 46, by monotypy. 

 Later citations : O. pirazzolii Eppelsheim, by Lucas, 1920, p. 458. 

 Synonyms: (See Eppelsheimius). 

 ONIBATHUM Tottenham, 1939a, p. 225. [Subgenus of Eusphalerum.'i 

 Genotype : Onibathum, minutum (Fabricius) (Silpha). 

 Fixed by: Tottenham, 1939a, p. 225, by original designation. 

 Later citations : O minutum (Fabricius) , by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 354. 

 Synonyms : ( See Eusphalerum) . 

 ONOTYLUS [Error for Anotylus']. 

 ONTHOLESTES Ganglbauer, 1895, p. 417. 



Genotype: Ontholestes murinus (Linn6) {Staphylinus) . 

 Fixed by : Lucas, 1920, p. 459, by subsequent designation. 

 Later citations: O. murinus (Linn6), by Tottenham, 1940, p. 49; by Black- 

 welder, 1943, p. 445 ; by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 375. 

 Synonyms : 



Trichoderma Stephens, 1835, p. 435. [Isogenotypie. Not Fleming, 1822.] 

 Variant spellings : 



Ontholesthes Bernhauer, 1906b, p. 202. 

 Ortholestes Britton, 1920, p. 228."' [Not Calvert, 1891.] 

 Notes : This genus was proposed for the "Leistotrophus Kr. nee Perty" and 

 thus contained originally the two species murinus and nebulosus. Since 

 there was no such genus as Leistotrophus Kraatz, this was actually a new 

 genus, not a new name. 

 ONTHOLESTHES [Error for Ontholestes]. 

 ONTHOSTYGNUS Sharp, 1884, p. 392. 



Genotype: Onthostygmis fasciatus Sharp. 

 Fixed by : Sharp, 1884, p. 392, by virtual monotypy. 

 Later citations : O. fasciatus Sharp, by Lucas, 1920, p. 459. 

 Discussion: Sharp described two species in this genus The second (pollens) 

 was on the page following the genus and first species (fasciatus), and this 

 second page (393) was actually published in 1885 instead of 1884. 

 Variant spellings : 



Orthostygnus Kirby, 1885, p. 36.*
