OUCHEMUS des Gozis, 1886, p. 14. [Subgenus of Platydracus.^ 

 Oenotype: Ouchemtis erythropterus (Linnd) (Staphylimis). 

 Fixed iy : des Gozis, 1886, p. 14, by original designation. 

 Later citation's: O. erythropterus (Linn6), by Blaclswelder, 1943, p. 443; by 



Tottenliam, 1949b, p. 374. 

 Synonyms: (See Platydracus). 



Notes : Since tlie name Staphylinus must be used for the old genus Creophilus, 

 the next available name must be used for what was called Staphylinus. 

 This is Platydracus, which was a subgenus. The old subgenus Staphylinus 

 s. str. then requires another name, and Ouchemtis is available. 

 OULOGLENE Notman, 1925, p. 3. 



Genotype : Ouloglene barberi Notman. 



Fixed by : Notman, 1925, p. 3, by original designation and monotypy. 

 OURALIA Mulsant and Rey, lS73b, p. 174. [Synonym of Microdota.1 

 Genotype: OttraUa picicornis Mulsant and Rey. 

 Fixed by : Mulsant and Rey, 1873b, p. 174, by monotypy. 

 Other citations: O. luctuosa (Mulsant and Rey), by Fenyes, 1918, p. 24; by 



Tottenham, 1949b, p. 393 ; not originally included. 

 Discussion : The designations of luctuosa were made under the assumption 

 that the genus was published in 1874 ; they could be accepted only through 

 the subjective synonymy of luctuosa and picicornis. 

 Synonymic homonyms :

 OUSIPALIA des Gozis, 1886, p. 13. [Subgenus of Ischnopoda.^ 

 Genotype: Ousipalia caesula (Erichson) (Homalota). 

 Fixed by : des Gozis, 1886, p. 13, by monotypy. 



Later citations: O. caesula (Erichson), by Fenyes, 1918, p. 24. O. alpicola 

 (Miller), by Scheerpeltz, 1929b, p. 236; 1934, p. 1598; not originally 

 included. 

 Discussion : In proposing Ousipalia, des Gozis made two errors. He assumed 

 that Sipalia of Thomson had a status separate from Sipalia Mulsant and 

 Rey, and he cited as type of the former a species that was not originally 

 included. [See discussion under Sipalia.] 

 Synonyms: (See also Ischnopoda)

 OXEOPODA [Error for Oxypoda]. 

 OXEOPORUS [Error for Oxyporusl. 

 OXEOPUS Gistel, 1856, p. 267. [Error for Oxypoda.] 



Notes : There is no direct evidence to place this name. Four species were 

 included ; two of them are now placed in Oxypoda and two in Aleochara.
