GENERIC NAMES OF THE FAMILY STAPHYLINIDAE 337 



RAPHIRUS Stephens— Continued 



Bynonymic homonyms : 



Raphibus Stephens, 1829b, p. 282. 

 Raphirus Stephens, 1832, p. 200.

 Rhaphibus J. Sahlberg, 1880, p. 114. 

 Notes : Tottenham discusses the supposedly doubtful status of attenuatus 

 (and therefore of Raphirus) without noting that there is nomenclaturally 

 no such name as attenuatus Gyllenhal. His new name Arphirus is nec- 

 essary because of the transfer of the name Raphirus to what has been 

 called Saundvs, not because Raphirus is claimed to be a genus dubium.
