Fixed hy : Fenyes, 1918, p. 24, by subsequent designation. 



Later citations : P. pilosus Kraatz, by Seevers, 1938, p. 430.

 PHILOTHALPUS Kraatz, 1857c, p. 540. 



Genotype: Philothalpus anceps (Erichson) (Staphylinus). 



Fixed iy : Blackwelder, 1943, p. 451, by subsequent designation. 



Other citations: P. anceps (Erichson), by Lucas, 1920, p. 502, doubtfully. 



Discussion: Kraatz included four species by name and tive others by refer- 

 ence to Erichson's arrangement. P. anceps was among the latter. Lucas 

 (1920, p. 502) cited anceps doubtfully; this is not acceptable as "unambig- 

 uous designation of a genotype."
